McKenzie defends salary amid criticism over delayed Joshlin Smith Foundation launch

Gayton McKenzie says that although the Joshlin Smith Foundation has not yet been established, he has kept his promise to donate his salary.

On Sunday, McKenzie admitted the foundation had not yet been set up, 'because we want to make sure we get it right'.Patriotic Alliance leader and Minister of Arts, Sports and Culture Gayton McKenzie says although the Joshlin Smith Foundation has not yet been established, he has kept his promise to donate his parliamentary salary.

“When white people enter parliament, there is never talk about perks and salaries. I currently earn more from my investments per month,” said McKenzie on social media at the time.Joshlin went missing from her Middelpos home in Saldanha, Western Cape, earlier this year. “It is a private, personal matter relating to my own funds and what I choose to do with my own money. Rushing the creation of any foundation would be a mistake, and the fact that it has not yet been registered does not mean I have gone back on my commitment not to benefit from my ministerial salary.”
