Political career

Maunye joined the Bushbuckridge Residents Association, now known as the Better Residents Association, after he left the African National Congress. For the 7 May 2014 general election, he was placed first on the party's candidate list to the Mpumalanga Provincial Legislature. The party won one seat, and he filled that seat on 21 May 2014.[1]

In February 2017, he was suspended from the party, pending a disciplinary hearing.[2] Party leaders accused him of "selling out to the ANC." He was then recalled from the provincial legislature effective 31 March 2017 and rejoined the ANC on 2 April.[3] Cecil Shilwake succeeded him as the BRA's sole representative in the legislature.[4]
