Kenny Kunene submitted his immediate resignation from the Johannesburg City Council as a Proportional Representative councillor. The Patriotic Alliance deputy president made this decision after appearing at the residence of Katiso Molefe, who faces arrest for DJ Sumbody's murder. Kunene addressed his resignation letter to the council Speaker, highlighting his previous work as MMC for Transport. He claimed to have contributed significantly to rebuilding the city during his tenure. The politician expressed gratitude to colleagues who worked alongside him.
The Patriotic Alliance launched an internal investigation regarding Kunene's connection to the murder suspect. Kunene agreed to step away from public service temporarily while his party examines the allegations against him. He maintains these claims lack foundation but acknowledged the public interest in clearing his reputation. The former councillor promised to remain loyal to his party's political objectives. He will send a separate resignation notice to the Mayor of Johannesburg.
