Mac G, whose real name is MacGyver Mukwevho, has recently become a hot topic on Twitter (now X) following a surprising revelation.
The ANC government, through the Department of Sports, Arts, And Culture, released a list of beneficiaries who received funds over the past few months. Among these names, the famous ‘Podcast and Chill’ host, Mac G, stood out, leaving South Africans in shock.
Mac G is well-known for his outspoken nature and his stance against favouritism and injustice. As the voice of truth, many expected him to reveal if he had ever received government funds.
Hence, the revelation that he received a whopping R75,000 from the department came as a surprise to his followers. The new minister, Gayton, had promised transparency, and this list was part of fulfilling that promise.
The reactions on social media were swift and varied. Many users, including DJ Sbu, took to Twitter to express their thoughts and tease Mac G about his payment.
While some were shocked, others saw the humour in the situation, creating a mixture of disbelief and amusement across the platform.
