JOHANNESBURG - The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) says it will report the Patriotic Alliance's deputy president, Kenny Kunene, to the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) for his "harmful" social media posts directed towards illegal miners.
On Sunday, Kunene posted a picture on X - showing two slaughtered and skinned goat carcasses hanging from a roof by their necks.
"This is the chilling fate that awaits all illegal miners robbing South Africa of their natural resources and wealth," said Kunene in his post.

The EFF's spokesperson, Sinawo Tambo, said Kunene is making light of the Stilfontein mine situation where the bodies of 78 suspected illegal miners 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," said Kunene.
