Patriotic Alliance (PA) chief Gayton McKenzie has suspended his deputy, Kenny Kunene, from his position as Johannesburg’s MMC for Transport and from get together political actions for one month.
The one-month suspension is pending an investigation into Kunene’s presence on the residence of a suspect within the DJ Sumbody homicide case throughout a police raid on Monday.
Kunene was discovered outdoors Katiso Molefe’s home ready for a gathering when members of the South African Police Service (SAPS) raided Molefe’s residence in Sandton.
Kunene has denied having a relationship with Molefe and says that they aren’t associates.
Sefoka was killed in a hail of bullets in Woodmead in November 2022.
In response to police spokesperson Athlenda Mathe, three of the suspects are believed to be hitmen whereas one is believed to have ordered the hit.
Kunene says he was merely facilitating an unique interview with Molefe and a journalist from his newspaper Africa Information International.
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.”
