# Parliament’s Ethics Committee will not investigate Sport, Arts and Culture minister Gayton McKenzie over tweets containing the K-word, saying they pre-date his time as Member of Parliament. The African Transformation Movement lodged the complaint, but Parliament ruled it fell outside the Code of Conduct. The South African Human Rights Commission is still considering a separate complaint filed by ActionSA. McKenzie has denied being racist, calling the allegations a political campaign, but admitted past tweets were insensitive and expressed regret.
