Overview

• PA leader Gayton McKenzie announced that an investigation by Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr found no evidence implicating Kenny Kunene in wrongdoing.
• The report states that witness interviews and supporting documents backed Kunene’s explanation for being at Molefe’s Sandton residence in July.
• Kunene has resumed party duties, and the PA says he will be sworn back in as a Johannesburg councillor with an expectation of returning to the transport MMC role.
• Katiso “KT” Molefe, accused in the 2022 murder of DJ Sumbody, was denied bail in August and remains in custody as his case proceeds.
• Opposition figures and analysts questioned the impartiality of a party-commissioned probe, while coalition dynamics in Joburg add pressure over Kunene’s reappointment and the PA’s claim to the MMC post.
