MMC for Roads and Transport in the City of Johannesburg Kenny Kunene.
Patriotic Alliance (PA) leader Gayton McKenzie has suspended his deputy, Kenny Kunene, from his role as Johannesburg’s MMC for Transport and from party political activities for one month.
The one-month suspension is pending an investigation into Kunene’s presence at the home of a suspect in the DJ Sumbody murder case during a police raid on Monday.
Kunene was found outside Katiso Molefe’s house waiting for a meeting when members of the South African Police Service (SAPS) raided Molefe’s home in Sandton.
Kunene has denied having a relationship with Molefe and says that they are not friends.
Sefoka was killed in a hail of bullets in Woodmead in November 2022.
According to police spokesperson Athlenda Mathe, three of the suspects are believed to be hitmen while one is believed to have ordered the hit.
Kunene says he was merely facilitating an exclusive interview with Molefe and a journalist from his newspaper Africa News Global.
McKenzie says, “Kunene will be investigated by lawyers of good character. While he’s being investigated, I’m going to remove him from being an MMC. I’m going to write to them. I’m also going to tell him to stand back from politics for one month until the investigation is complete. That’s the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do in my life, to act against Kenny Kunene.”
