After a year as mayor of the Central Karoo District Municipality, Patriotic Alliance (PA) leader Gayton McKenzie says his ambitions are set on next year’s general election, where he believes his party will play a decisive role in choosing the next government.
Despite having had his tenure criticised by opposition parties and PA alliance partners alike, McKenzie is convinced that his contributions to the socioeconomic development of the region, which covers Beaufort West, Prince Albert and Laingsburg, has been unprecedented, as it changed the lives of residents within a short period.
