Kenny Kunene explains his support for Oscar Pistorius

Oscar Pistorius is currently serving a five-year sentence at Kgosi Mampuru II Prison in Pretoria. The athlete, who shot and killed his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in 2013, was found guilty of culpable homicide. Throughout his trial, Kenny Kunene, aka The Sushi King, has shown his support for the champion.

He's been criticised by many people for standing by Oscar's and according to Move, Kenny is not bothered. He told the mag, "The problem with this country is that it is full of hypocrites and so-called moralists who do bad things behind closed doors."

He said Oscar was not found guilty of murder but people went on social media howling that he's a murderer. "I will continue to support the boy whether anyone likes it or not," he said, adding that he will do whatever it takes to make sure that Oscar's stay in jail is a comfortable one.
