Kenny Kunene
Economy
Kenny Kunene has pledged to write off municipal debt for Johannesburg households with properties valued below R1-million within his first 100 days in office, arguing that "Most households are not able to pay for services due to high unemployment." He has also proposed moving to a flat-rate municipal tariff structure to make basic services more affordable, positioning service delivery and job creation as his campaign's central focus.
Infrastructure
Kunene has committed to repairing street lighting and electrical infrastructure across the city so that "Every electric pole, every light must work and give people light," alongside continued road maintenance and pothole repairs. He has also proposed formalizing illegal water and electricity connections in informal settlements and occupied buildings to curb revenue losses affecting municipal utilities.
Security
He has pledged to continue reclaiming hijacked buildings in Johannesburg's inner city, stating "we are going to reclaim hijacked buildings," with unlawful occupants removed and displaced South African families resettled into formal housing.
Immigration
Kunene's campaign, under the Patriotic Alliance, has linked its building-reclamation and service-delivery drive to stricter action against undocumented migrants occupying reclaimed properties or drawing on municipal services without authorization.
