The release of Kenny Kunene's new song has been met with mixed reactions from the online community, with Ntsiki Mazwai being at the forefront of the backlash.

The businessman and politician appears to have resurrected his "Sushi King" status with a sudden entry into the music scene after releasing a new song titled Hamba alongside Soulful G and TheologyHD.

Reacting on 13 December 2025 to a recently surfaced video of Kunene and TheologyHD dancing to their new Amapiano song, Ntsiki Mazwai shared a controversial take.

Ntsiki's post appeared to align with the PA anti-illegal foreign national position, a view strongly championed by party president Gayton McKenzie, who frequently chants "Abahambe" (They must leave) to advocate for their removal from South Africa.

Kunene's new song title, which translates directly to "Leave," might be interpreted as a nod to this PA slogan. However, Ntsiki seemingly holds the opinion that foreigners were never the country's most significant problem.

The Johannesburg MMC for Transport's venture into music, though sudden, aligns with his history in the entertainment industry. Prior to his entry into politics, Kunene owned the once-popular ZAR nightclub, which often hosted celebrities, politicians and socialites.

Ntsiki's reaction to his new song ignited a series of lively responses from the online community.

"Coloured people’s standards are low. Their party leaders are ex-convicts, most probably still criminals. This one is drinking alcohol from a clear glass (public display of intoxication) and putting it on the internet for the world to see."

"Yazi, on Friday, posts were making rounds about Mr Electricity being the president. imagine. Arguing that his portfolio blah blah. South African voters are the real problem."

NancyNkosi3 agreed with Ntsiki Mazwai:

"True. It's the people who voted for the PA."

VuyoNgcobo19 slammed Kenny Kunene:

"Kenny is forcing things."

KoenaMo77696973 added:

"Of course, some of us have always known that our brothers and sisters from other African countries aren't the problem, but this useless government that now has ministers who are ex-offenders. Yet, they unashamedly display their bandit mentality in public."
