DA responds to Kenny Kunene's painting
Updated | By ECR Newswatch
The DA says it is not going to be distracted by a controversial painting depicting three senior party members.
Party spokesperson Phumzile van Damme says they do not agree with the message of the painting revealed on Twitter by businessman, Kenny Kunene.
The painting depicts a naked party leader, Mmusi Maimane pulling a rickshaw - carrying former leader Helen Zille and Federal Executive Chairperson James Selfe. Zille and Selfe are also exposed.
"I am now a proud owner of this masterpiece. Powerful storytelling through art. Thanks to the fearless artist," Kunene tweeted - which received impassioned responses on Twitter.
Van Damme says artistic freedom of expression is protected by the Constitution. She says they're more concerned about the last few days ahead of the elections.
