JOHANNESBURG - The Democratic Alliance (DA) in Johannesburg is calling for MMC for Transport Kenny Kunene to be fired after he was found at the home of a policeman suspected to be behind the murder of DJ Sumbody.
News24 reported that when police arrived to arrest Katiso "KT" Molefe at his Sandton home on Monday, Kunene was there.
In an interview on one of the news channels, Kunene said that he was there accompanying a young journalist who was interviewing Molefe for his media website, Africa News Global.
But DA Johannesburg caucus leader, Belinda Kayser-Echeozonjoku, said that Kunene's role as transport MMC was now untenable.
"The Democratic Alliance (DA) calls for Kunene’s immediate resignation, and if he will not resign, Mayor Dada Morero must fire him. The laughable alibi offered by Kunene on eNCA this afternoon must be rejected out of hand by any reasonable South African."
