Reacting to the compromising situation Kunene was caught in, PA President Gayton McKenzie announced that he had suspended his deputy.
“Firstly, I believe Kenny 100%. I can’t expect everyone to believe him, hence we launching a full investigation to prove what we already know, which is that he is innocent,” said McKenzie.
“Kenny Kunene will be investigated, and I’m gonna tell you who’s gonna investigate him, lawyers of good character, and while he’s being investigated, I’m going to remove him from being an MMC.
“I’m also going to tell him to stand back from politics for one month until the investigation is done.
“That’s the hardest thing I ever had to do in my life.”
