🔴BREAKING NEWS🔴 The Democratic Alliance (DA) in Johannesburg has issued a strong call for Mayor Dada Morero to take urgent and decisive action against Transport MMC Kenny Kunene, demanding his permanent removal from office.
The call comes after Kunene was found at the residence of a suspect arrested in connection with the murder of popular musician DJ Sumbody. The DA says his presence at the suspect’s home raises serious questions about his judgment and association with individuals under criminal investigation.
“This kind of conduct is disgraceful and damaging to the credibility of the city’s leadership,” the DA said in a statement. While they have previously criticized Kunene for what they describe as “unprofessional behavior and abuse of power,” the latest development has intensified calls for his immediate dismissal.
DA Johannesburg caucus leader Belinda Kayser-Echeozonjoku stressed that the city deserves accountable leaders who serve residents with integrity. “MMC Kunene’s continued presence in the mayoral committee undermines public trust. Mayor Morero must act now in the best interest of Johannesburg,” she stated.
Mayor Morero’s office has yet to issue a formal response.
