The Cape Town rapper lashed out on Twitter this week after Minister of Police Bheki Cele shared an update about the late hitmaker’s murder investigation.
It’s been exactly a month since AKA and friend Tebello Tibz Motsoane was shot and killed by masked gunmen outside a Florida Road hotspot in Durban. No arrests have been made.
