The newly elected Sports Minister, Gayton McKenzie, announced that he will donate 100% of his parliamentary salary to the Joshlin Smith Foundation for missing children.
The Patriotic Alliance leader is set to earn R1.27 million annually from his ministerial position and is expected to occupy the post for the next five years.
McKenzie said he was not in it for the money; his goal was to change the lives of people.
One hundred percent of my salary Im giving it to the Joshlin Smith foundation for missing children for the duration of my stay in Parliament, 100% of my salary not 80% or 50%...Because Im not here for money, Im here to change lives of our people, he said.
In March, McKenzie announced that he will be putting up a R1 million reward for the safe return of missing six-year-old Saldanha Bay girl, Joshlin Smith.
