Ex-convict and nightclub king Kunene is at the centre of the ­purchase of a prized Western Cape wine farm once owned by a ­notorious tax dodger, according to a report on Channel24.

Kunene and Ukrainian businessman Denys Aloshyn arrived at Quoin Rock Vineyards near Cape Agulhas and submitted the winning bid of R13m for the farm.

Kunene celebrated his new acquisition on Twitter.

On 28 July  he tweeted: “Thanx 2all who wished me well, I became the highest bidder @da auction n got the farm. God is great.”

Quoin Rock consists of two farms: the 3 000ha farm near Cape Agulhas that Kunene and Aloshyn bought, and the 194ha Quoin Rock Wine Estate near Stellenbosch.

According to the purchase agreement, the Cape Agulhas farm was sold to a South African company with Aloshyn as the purchaser.
