‘Sushi King’ and porn entrepreneur Kenny Kunene has resigned from his senior position in Julius Malema’s Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) movement.
According to the Star, Kunene told the newspaper he was resigning as head of campaigns, mobilisation and special projects with immediate effect and would no longer hold a leadership position in the party.
Among other complaints, Kunene criticised Zuma’s friendship with the Gupta family.
“The Gupta issue alone should be the last straw for many South Africans,” Kunene wrote in the letter, published in the Star.
When asked if he still intended to Vote for the EFF, Kunene reportedly said that his vote was secret, but that he is still committed to economic freedom.
“I will remain an economic freedom fighter for ordinary people,” IOL reported him as saying.
The EFF recently made headlines when Julius Malema and fellow party members visited the magistrate’s court in Fochville, wearing their distinctive red berets, to show support for residents who had been arrested after violent protests.
The movement has filed papers with the IEC to formally register as a political party.
Malema, whose tax affairs have recently been audited, claimed earlier this month that Kunene and other EFF members had also received notices from Sars that they were under investigation. – eNCA
