Patriotic Alliance deputy president, Kenny Kunene has been re-sworn in as a councillor for the City of Johannesburg.

The former MMC of Transport resigned from his position and as a councillor in July, after he was found at a murder accused, Katiso ‘KT’ Molefe’s house during a police bust.

Kunene was also suspended from party activities.

On Monday evening, PA leader Gayton McKenzie announced that a law firm has cleared Kunene of any wrongdoing.

McKenzie also threatened to withdraw from the GNU and all municipal coalitions by next week Tuesday if Johannesburg Mayor Dada Morero does not reinstate Kunene as MMC of Transport.

City of Johannesburg, Speaker of Council, Margaret Arnolds, presided over Kunene’s swearing-in on Friday afternoon.

“I, Thapelo Kenneth Kunene, swear that I will be faithful to the Republic of South Africa. And will obey, respect, and uphold the Constitution and all other laws of the Republic.”
