A birthday fit for a Sushi King

Oct 26, 2012 | Genevieve Kgafe and Sibusiso Msibi | 173 comments

Kenny Kunene, known as The Sushi King, recently celebrated his 42nd birthday with a horde of provocatively clad beauties, celebrities and wannabes, including "aspirant protégés", known in the townships as izikhothane.

The Izikhothane - who stood out like a sore thumb at the huge gig - are groups of youngsters who gather to show off their expensive branded clothing. Their high is to then destroy (by fire) these symbols of opulence.

Kunene claims to be totally against this practice.

The Sushi King also discouraged the izikhothane's ritual of burning money and highlighted the importance of having a good education as well as being responsible role models.

Intriguingly, Kunene later encouraged the youths to always go for the best as he mentioned that his gear, including accessories, had cost an astronomical R113,000.

@ Virginaftersex, life screw all of us nobody dies a virgin. They will deal with the issue of not employable when they approach the bridge. For now let them be that's how far they envisioned their lives. Kenny make sure your business keep pumping money in seem you don't have financial advisors around you. Really people will be laughing at you and calling you " In my time". Suppose you can't hide your riches and want to show all who minds not. Better finance 10 university students per year and offer them apprenticeships until they stand on their own. You can do that quietly.
