JOHANNESBURG - The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) said it would report Patriotic Alliance (PA) deputy president, Kenny Kunene, to the SA Human Rights Commission for his "harmful" social media posts directed towards illegal miners.
On Sunday, Kunene posted a picture on X showing two slaughtered goat carcasses that had been skinned and are hanging from a roof by their necks.
Kunene's post was accompanied with a caption that said: "This is the chilling fate that awaits all illegal miners robbing South Africa off their natural resources and wealth."
EFF spokesperson, Sinawo Tambo, said that Kunene was making light of the Stilfontein mine situation where the bodies of 78 suspected zama zamas were retrieved underground.
"Kunene’s comments represent the lowest level of opportunism and are the hallmarks of sadistic and pathological commitment to dehumanisation and an infatuation with genocide. His comments are inspired by electoral opportunism, as despite scientific and objective evidence that their rhetoric on foreign nationals does not lead to electoral success, he and his political party have committed themselves to using xenophobia as their political platform."
