Joburg mayor says city powerless after Kunene's resignation

July 28, 2025

JOBURG mayor Dada Morero says the city council has no jurisdiction over embattled Patriotic Alliance (PA) deputy president Kenny Kunene following his resignation as councillor.

- HOPE NTANZI

Kunene, who was serving as Johannesburg’s MMC for Transport, resigned from his positions as a Proportional Representation (PR) councillor and MMC for Transport in the City of Johannesburg on Saturday, after the PA placed him on suspension pending an investigation into his alleged association with a murder suspect.

In an interview on eNCA, Morero explained that Kunene’s resignation meant the city could not pursue any internal inquiry.

“Council works quite differently. He has resigned as a councillor, meaning he’s no longer part of council. And council, therefore, does not have jurisdiction over him in terms of our code of conduct as councillors,” Morero said.
