Earlier this week, Formula 1 announced that it will head back to Africa in the early 2030s with a new purpose-built track in Rwanda.
South African Minister Gayton McKenzie has criticized the idea that Formula 1 should only hold a single race across the African continent. His comments follow F1's announcement of a deal to race at a new purpose-built circuit in Rwanda in the early 2030s, marking the championship's first African event since the 1993 South African Grand Prix.
