“Dear Kenny Kunene, if for any reason I am removed as mayor of Central Karoo and I display an ounce of not wanting to let go of the mayoral post (ketting koors), please take my phone and take me straight to be institutionalised.”

The Central Karoo mayor shared the post along with a picture of Phalatse. Responding to the tweet, Kunene said he would never allow McKenzie to make a mockery of himself.

The politician also shaded Phalatse by saying McKenzie would never go berserk over losing “a chain” or its perks. He added that the PA leader did not feel entitled to be mayor.

According to TimesLIVE, the former Joburg mayor was ousted from her position after a motion of no confidence was filed against her. She has since attempted to declare her removal unlawful.
