Joburg council Speaker says she's yet to receive formal communication from PA on Kunene's suspension

JOHANNESBURG  - Johannesburg council Speaker Margaret Arnolds said she had yet to receive any formal communication from the Patriotic Alliance (PA) regarding its decision to suspend Kenny Kunene as its public representative.

Kunene was suspended by his party following alleged links to Katiso "KT" Molefe, who is accused of orchestrating the murder of popular DJ Oupa Sefoka, widely known as DJ Sumbody.

As far as we are concerned, he remains a councillor."
