Imprisoned from 1997 to 2003 after being convicted of running a ponzi scheme, while in prison, he often organized parties among the inmates to build goodwill among his fellow inmates. After he was released he began marketing the work of former bank robber Gayton McKenzie who had since become a motivational speaker. Kunene and McKenzie then invested in a seafood distribution business. Kunene has also worked as a public relations consultant and lobbyist for mining companies. In March 2012 the Hawks (special police investigative unit) spokesman McIntosh Polela confirmed that the Hawks have done an investigation into Kunene regarding fraudulant representations to communities and potential shareholders as part of the application for mining rights by Central Rand Gold (CRG). No charges were, however, ever levelled.
 
Kunene was a supporter of the African National Congress until 2013 when he wrote a scathing open letter to President Jacob Zuma criticising his leadership. In July 2013, Kunene briefly joined the Economic Freedom Fighters as a high profile member of the organisation's "Central Command Team" before resigning from the organisation in August 2013.
 
Businessman and Secretary-General of the Patriotic Alliance Kenny Kunene believes that he still has an important role to play in politics, but first, there’s his roast on Comedy Central (28 April).
 
You know what they say...a day without laughter is a day wasted.
