Overview
- Kenny Kunene was re-sworn as a proportional-representation councillor on Friday after an independent law firm cleared him of wrongdoing.
- PA leader and Sports Minister Gayton McKenzie says Kunene must be reinstated as Roads and Transport MMC by Tuesday or the party will withdraw from coalition governments and he will resign.
- PA and ANC leaders are arranging talks early this week to resolve the dispute, with Kunene saying the meeting time and venue are still being finalised.
- McKenzie alleges Mayor Dada Morero resisted PA deployments and at one stage offered the transport portfolio to the EFF after the PA ceded Human Settlements to the IFP.
- Kunene says any PA exit would not aim to collapse the GNU, and he pledged continued support for President Cyril Ramaphosa while rejecting any no-confidence bid.
