Premier of the Western Cape says an artist's right to expression must be protected no matter who is offended. Zille was responding to Kenny Kunene's newest art purchase - a satirical painting that appears to show the DA's Mmusi Maimane, Helen Zille and James Selfe in all their naked glory.

Earlier Outspoken businessman Kenny Kunene has strongly defended his purchase of a controversial painting insisting that it depicts the "true nature" of the Democratic Alliance.

In the painting‚ Maimane is depicted as a slave‚ pulling Western Cape Premier Helen Zille and chairperson of the party's federal council James Selfe in a wagon.

"The artwork shows that Maimane is a slave of the Democratic Alliance. James Selfe looks worried because he's impatient. He doesn't know of Mmusi will bring the black votes that the DA wants‚" said Kunene.
