Is Gayton McKenzie a fan of our Executive Producer Rory Petzer?
Updated | By East Coast Radio
Rory Petzer is infamous for his 'Champions' videos on social media, which usually grab the attention of many South Africans. This time, it caught the attention of our Sports Minister, Gayton McKenzie...
We all know and love Executive Producer Rory Petzer's engaging videos about current affairs and sports. This time, his commentary earned him a spot on the X wall of fame for South African Sports Minister Gayton McKenzie.
Rory Petzer has been cleverly doing 'Champions' videos for a while now, addressing his fellow South Africans as 'Champions'. As one might address a friend or a 'chommie', he uses the term, 'Champions'. To include our national soccer team in a positive light, he would say that when someone greets you, the best response is to say, 'I'm Bafana, thanks'.
He posted a video on Saturday, 12 October, after Bafana Bafana's 5-0 win over Congo Brazzaville in the AFCON 2025 qualifiers at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, Gqerberha (which also happens to be Rory's hometown).
The below video went viral as it received 215,000 views on X.
