Kunene says he was travelling Tuesday evening in a BMW when he was approached by four men who opened fire on him and the woman he was with. The two quickly drove away, and neither were harmed.
The car was allegedly hit by five bullets, while some reports claimed 21 were fired.
Since news of the miraculous escape, Twitter has been firing at shots at Kunene who was still trending in third two days after the incident.

Kunene is no stranger to public scorn. Back in the early 2000s, he was jailed for his role in a Ponzi scheme in the Free State. After being released and reestablishing himself as a businessman, news broke that his 2010 birthday party included the opportunity to eat sushi off naked women.
Some were impressed, many were outraged.

Not ones to miss an opportunity to drag two birds with one stone, Twitter users also brought the under-performing Bafana Bafana into the mix.
