Patriotic Alliance (PA) deputy leader Kenny Kunene has officially returned to the Johannesburg City Council.
His reinstatement comes two months after he stepped down following controversy linked to the arrest of Katiso “KT” Molefe, who is accused of orchestrating the murder of musician Oupa Sefoka, known as DJ Sumbody.

Kunene’s resignation followed his presence at Molefe’s home during the suspect’s arrest. At the time, he insisted that he was there only to support a journalist from his online news agency who had secured an exclusive interview.
