Kenny Kunene claims Julius Malema had close ties with notorious taxi boss Mswazi and KT Molefe

Patriotic Alliance (PA) deputy leader Kenny Kunene has made explosive allegations regarding the relationship between Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema and the late taxi boss Jotham “Mswazi” Msibi. During a recent podcast interview, Kunene claimed that Malema frequently visited Msibi’s home late at night, suggesting a deep and potentially compromising connection between the two.

Malema would spend nights at the home of the late taxi boss, Jotham “Mswazi” Msibi.

These claims have become the focal point of a high-profile legal battle, with Malema initiating a R1 million defamation lawsuit against Kunene. Malema has vehemently denied the allegations, characterizing them as part of a smear campaign intended to damage his reputation and link him to the so-called “Big Five” cartel.

The legal proceedings have faced significant hurdles, with the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court recently striking the matter from the roll due to procedural failures by Malema’s legal team to file necessary affidavits on time. Despite the setback, the conflict between the two political figures continues to intensify, with Kunene maintaining that his statements are based on evidence of an ongoing relationship between the EFF leader and the late taxi boss.
