The problem is mainly observed after sitting in peak hour traffic then I switch off the vehicle and try to restart it. All is does is swing, then after about twenty minutes I am able to start it again.Sometimes if I am in a hurry and need to the vehicle before the twenty minutes is up I would kick start it. All diagnostics done and no fault can be traced

This sounds like a crankshaft position sensor issue so we need to start with running through this guide which will help with identifying if this is the issue:
