Joburg mayor Dada Morero says the vacant MMC for transport position does not belong to any party. This follows the resignation of PA member Kenny Kunene as MMC for transport as well as a councillor 37 days ago following a backlash over his alleged association with Katiso 'KT' Molefe, the alleged mastermind behind DJ Sumbody's murder.
According to Morero, there is no portfolio that is owned by parties within the city.
There is no political party that owns the MMC portfolio or a department. That is a decision appointment that is made through a particular consultative process and at the right time we will make the right announcement about who will be in that portfolio.
