Posted on August 17, 2025

Sizwe Dhlomo had surprising words for both Gayton McKenzie and Dricus du Plessis, who was dethroned of his UFC Middleweight World Champion belt by Khamzat Chimaev.

The Kaya FM host has been vocal about his disdain for the Minister of Sports, Art, and Culture, whose K-word social media scandal went viral this week.

SIZWE DHLOMO MOCKS GAYTON, DRICUS

On his X account, Sizwe Dhlomo reacted to Gayton McKenzie consoling Dricus du Plessis after his UFC title loss. The minister posted: “Dricus du Plessis, you made us proud as one of the great champions, and we know you will be back. You faced a tough wrestler today, but you will come back stronger. 

“It was hard to watch, but you never gave up, almost had him & you’ll always be a legend. Chin up, #noDNAjustRSA 🇿🇦

Responding to the tweet, Sizwe posted: “Hey f*kof, wena!”

‘LOSS FOR THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY’

Sizwe Dhlomo wasn’t the only South African who had something to say about Dricus du Plessis’s loss.

Comedian Yaaseen Barnes referred to the MMA fighter’s previous controversial comments and endorsement of US President Donald Trump.

He posted: “Dricus’ loss actually made me more Pro-South African.  He stood for the white genocide (which has been debunked), he’s also pro-Trump (who should be debunked)

“This is a loss for the good of the country.”

EFF’s Sinawo Thambo posted of Dricus: “There is no patriotism with peddlers of fake genocide in SA and racists.”
