Summer bodies are made in winter, which is why Minister of Sport, Arts, and Culture Gayton McKenzie was up at the crack of dawn for an early morning run.

 

Last month, the Patriotic Alliance leader promised to “look the part” in his new position. He has since revealed that he’s lost nearly 10 kgs since he vowed to get fit.

GAYTON MCKENZIE ON WEIGHT LOSS, STAYING HEALTHY
In another early morning tweet, Gayton McKenzie called on South Africans to leave their warm beds and start their day with physical exercise.

Sharing a clip of him jogging, he said, “Wake up, let’s run! Go fetch your body. Eat right, be healthy. We can all do this, the whole of South Africa.”

Last week, Gayton revealed that he had lost close to 10kgs since becoming the Minister of Sports, Art and Culture.

He tweeted: “I lost 1,6kgs in the last seven days. I have lost 9kgs since I started this weight loss journey. I am feeling much better and healthier”.

Following his inauguration ceremony, Gayton told his social media followers, “I promise to run every day. You cannot have an overweight Minister of Sports!”

FINALLY FASTENING HIS JACKET!
Meanwhile, Gayton shared a hilarious update on his meeting with Deputy President Paul Mashatile.

The duo met at the weekend’s Presidential Imbizo in Ekhuruleni.

At Gayton’s swearing-in ceremony in July, he claimed that Paul had cautioned him to “fasten” his suit jacket, which he claimed he couldn’t do because of his weight.

“My tummy was in the way,” he joked.

This time, however, Gayton proved that his suit jacket was finally able to fasten, thanks to his weight loss.

“Don’t hate, my jacket is closing!” he tweeted.
