FIVE SUSPECTS ARRESTED IN AKA’S MURDER CASE STEP INSIDE THE DOCK
The late rapper AKA whose real name is Kiernan Jarryd Forbes and celebrity chef Tebello ‘Tibz’ Motsoane were shot and killed in Durban on Florida Road on the evening of 10 February 2023.
Seven suspects linked to the duo’s murders have been arrested. However, only five of them appeared in court today. According to eNCA, two of the other suspects are still apprehended in Eswatini.
During a press briefing on Tuesday, Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi said although the South African Police Service is satisfied with all the evidence that they have gathered, “things happen in court” and lawyers can always twist things.
“They will always twist and turn things and the case may take longer than perhaps we may all want it to take. But, that will be left to the court,” Mkhwanazi said.

“Why hide their faces? Very brave with a gun in their hands. Pathetic criminals,” @newhorizanman wrote.
“I feel so sorry for AKA’s family at this point to have to look at the possible killers of your loved one cannot be easy at all 💔,” @Ayanda_Cele said.

“@WhyJudgesMatter this is the nonsense we are subjected to by some incompetent magistrates in the judiciary. Why is the access allowed to hide their faces in an open court?” @LAWRENC25055815 asled.
