“The identification of those that were seen on videos that might have been seen on social media is something that we cannot disclose now.”

“But we got an idea about who might those people be, we are continuing with the investigation and that’s all I can say for now,” he said.

Mkhwanazi said they have collected quite a number of videos from different CCTV cameras that will assist them.

“We have not arrested anyone, yet we have however interviewed a number of people both in KZN as well as in Gauteng. In many people, we have obtained the statements and we collected cellphones and we are busy downloading some of those phones.”

“We have received our ballistic report from forensic that is completed, so there is still quite other work that the team is still busy with, the viewing of videos is still continuing, the downloading of some of the cellphones and the analysis of the material that is there is continuing,” he said.

Police minister Bheki Cele said he didn’t attend AKA crime scene because he was on a call with Mkhwanazi and AKA family.

AKA whose real name is Kiernan Forbes was gunned down alongside his friend at Wish restaurant on Florida road in Durban last Friday, 10 February and he will be laid to rest on Saturday.
