Vavi tears into elite

By The Ridge Magazine28/10/20101 Min Read

Referring to lavish bashes, such as that held recently by tycoon Kenny Kunene, which was splashed across the pages of this week’s City Press newspaper, Vavi accused the country’s powerful business and political elite of a “corrupt morality”.

“It is this spitting in the face of the poor and insulting their integrity that makes me sick,” said Vavi.

Send us your thoughts: What do you think of Vavi’s comments?

Vavi did not mention Kunene by name, but referred to his lavish party where sushi “was served from the bodies of half naked ladies”.

Speaking at a conference of Cosatu and its civil society partners, he said, “It is the sight of these parties where the elite display their wealth that turns my stomach.”

Kunene splurged R700 000 on his 40th birthday bash, attended by the who’s who of politics and business, at a luxurious Sandton hotel last week.
