Patriotic Alliance (PA) leader Gayton McKenzie has until Thursday to respond to allegations of hate speech for saying he would personally switch off foreign nationals' oxygen machines.
In August last year when South Africa was still reeling with the Covid-19 pandemic, McKenzie said had he been the country's president, he would walk into hospital and cut the oxygen supply of undocumented foreigners who "must thank their lucky stars" for being in South Africa unlawfully.
"I would unplug that gas that they were enjoying from South Africa, and I would bring somebody from South Africa, and I would connect them to the gas. If they must die they must die," he added at the time.
