On Sunday 26 March, police officials announced that at least three suspects have been arrested in connection with the murder of rapper Kiernan Jarryd Forbes — stage name AKA. The arrest was made shortly after the Megacy (AKA’s huge fan base) sent a scathing letter to the South African police minister Bheki Cele demanding that the rapper gets the justice he deserves.

The news of the arrests have been welcomed by many relieved South Africans, others however, appear to be weary and have brought up the Senzo Meyiwa case.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if those arrested are innocent, we know ANC, just like Meyiwa, they’ll take innocent man on the streets who are poor and left their homes, to frame them We must not be too excited about this, Forbes family must watch it closely. It can be Meyiwa 2.0”
