According to a latest report, police have made a significant breakthrough in the murder investigation of rapper AKA, real name Kiernan Forbes.

But that’s not all. According to a City Press report, one of the murder suspects has been linked back to the hitmaker. And bizarrely, the suspect was also allegedly at the scene when the later star’s fiancee Anele “Nelli” Tembe died two years ago

AKA and a friend Tebello Tibz Motsoane were shot and killed in Durban on 11 February 2023. On 10 April 2021, Nelli Tembe died after she fell off the 10th floor of a Cape Town hotel. At the time, Tembe was accompanying the rapper to a gig in the city.

WHO IS THE PERSON LINKED TO AKA?

The publication also made another bombshell claim.

A source told City Press: “One of the people [involved] was present at the scene where Nelisiwe ‘Nellie’ Tembe died. The person allegedly met with one of the suspects who has been arrested on a different charge and was [allegedly] involved in the shooting.”

In an interview with Bar Leader TV in June 2021, AKA stated that he and Nelli had met with friends for lunch on the eve of her death. The couple were staying at the Pepperclub Hotel in Loop Street.
