In an interview wih Nuuspod earlier this week, the DA leader confirmed that he had adopeted a healthier lifestyle.

“I’ve taken this whole year, the past nine or 10 months, to lose a bit of weight. I feel a bit better. But I’ve still got about five or eight kilos more to go”, he told host Izak du Plessis.

Geordin added: “Its important for our health”.

While Geordin Hill-Lewis’s weight loss has gotten the public talking, another political party leader, the Patriotic Alliance’s Gayton McKenzie has also sparked commentary about his appearance.

In 2024, the outspoke politician promised to live a healthier lifestyle after being sworn in. He also pledged to weigh in every week to reveal the results of his fitness journey.

However social media users have spotted tha Gayton has not only ditched his weight loss programme, but has gained more weight.

I thought Gayton was going to lose weight. An obese Sports minister isn't a good look.
