Something is off: Internet users unsure about Kenny Kunene’s story

1y By Silindokuhle Booi

South African politician and Patriotic Alliance deputy president Kenny Kunene, is currently facing controversy over his visit to the home of Katiso ‘KT’ Molefe, a suspect in the murder case of the late DJ Sumbody.

The Patriotic Alliance has placed Kunene on 30-day special leave while a legal team investigates the matter. His visit to Molefe’s home has sparked questions about his judgment and potential conflict of interest.

He claimed that he was at Molefe’s house for journalistic reasons, facilitating an interview for his online news outlet. However, critics are questioning his judgment, and the Democratic Alliance in Gauteng is demanding that he step down or be fired from his role as Transport MMC in the City of Johannesburg.

The investigation is ongoing, and the public remains divided over whether the incident is a political setup or a serious lapse in judgment from Kunene. More details are expected to surface as the 30-day investigation unfolds.

Naturally, his presence at Molefe’s home and his explanation thereof has gotten fingers typing and tongues wagging.

Some internet users questioned why no one has interviewed the journalist he was transporting: 

Media personality Sol Phenduka also weighed in, mentioning that it is rare for someone who had been implicated in previous crimes to welcome the media in his home for an interview. 

Another user also expressed their suspicion that Kunene is guilty of something.
