Why Kenny wants his old job back

MMC: TALKS ON OVER ROADS, TRANSPORT PORTFOLIO

- Masoka Dube

The future of Patriotic Alliance (PA) Joburg city councillor Kenny Kunene was still up in the air last night-he has been sworn back in as a councillor, but negotiations are continuing between the ANC, EFF and the PA about him being reinstated as MMC for roads and transport.

PA spokesperson Steve Motale told The Citizen yesterday an announcement would be made if an agreement is reached.

PA leader Gayton McKenzie has threatened to pull his party out of the government of national unity (GNU) if Kunene is not reinstated as MMC, claiming ANC mayor Dada Morero is conspiring with the EFF to give the post to them.

Kunene resigned after being criticised for being seen at a home of Katiso “KT” Molefe while he was arrested in connection with the murder of popular SA DJ Oupa John Sefoka, known as DJ Sumbody.

A law firm appointed by the PA to investigate the incident cleared him of wrongdoing, paving the way for his return to the council.
