Gayton McKenzie appointed former DA MP Liam Jacobs as a Johannesburg councillor, replacing suspended Kenny Kunene.

Kunene resigned following revelations of his presence at a murder suspect’s residence and is under internal investigation.

Jacobs will gain hands-on municipal experience and is also the PA’s mayoral candidate for Tshwane.

The party aims to intensify campaigns, targeting Western Cape by-elections and challenging ANC and DA dominance.

Pointing out problems is easy. Fixing the problem is the real work. Let’s get to the real work! Salute.
— Liam Jacobs, after his appointment as a councillor in Johannesburg.
