Two AKA assassins face Taxi boss’ murder charges
Two of the men accused of killing rapper Kiernan “AKA” Forbes and his friend Tebello “Tibz” Motsoane were, just three months before, allegedly caught on camera shooting a taxi owner at a Durban mall after which they went to a hotel to celebrate with their family, where accomplices were paid R1,500.
This is revealed in an affidavit filed by KwaZulu-Natal director of public prosecutions Elaine Harrison to the Eswatini authorities for a request to have the pair arrested.
On Thursday, five men also linked to AKA’s murder appeared in the Durban magistrate’s court to face 10 charges, including two of murder, five of attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder, possession of unlawful firearms and possession of unlawful ammunition.
According to Harrison, two brothers, Siyabonga Gezani Ndimande and Malusi Dave Ndimande, whose family owns taxis, met family members months before to plot William Kunene’s murder at Seadoone Mall near Amanzimtoti in November 2022.
