In the wake of the shocking murder of AKA and Tibz outside Wish Restaurant on Florida Road, Durban businessman Mziwethemba Gwabeni finds himself at the centre of a storm. The state has accused him of being the mastermind behind this high-profile crime, and the recent revelation of an R800,000 deposit into his account on the day of the incident has only fueled the fire.
A Coincidence or Something More?
However, Gwabeni has come forward to clarify the situation, shedding light on the source and nature of the money. In a video shared on social media, his lawyer explains the circumstances surrounding the deposit, while Gwabeni himself addresses the allegations and provides his side of the story.
According to Gwabeni, the R800,000 was not a random deposit but the result of a legitimate business transaction with a reputable company that he has had a long-standing relationship with.
He emphasizes that this was not a one-time payment, but rather part of an ongoing business arrangement that dates back three years. Gwabeni asserts that the state’s accusations are based on mere coincidence and lack substantial evidence.

Transparency and the Call for Answers
While Gwabeni’s explanation may provide some clarity, it hasn’t quelled the curiosity and skepticism of social media users. Many are still calling for more information and transparency regarding the source and nature of the money.
Questions abound as people seek to understand the nature of Gwabeni’s business dealings and the justification for such a significant sum of money. Social media users are demanding answers, eager to know who deposited the money and what services or goods were provided in return.
@BennettSoka raises a valid question, asking, “What business?” It seems that the lack of specific details about the nature of the business transaction has left room for speculation and skepticism.
@NgoepeAmos48 urges authorities to follow the money trail and delve deeper into the circumstances surrounding the payment. This sentiment is echoed by many who believe that understanding the purpose of the funds is crucial in unraveling the truth behind the murder case.
Another user, @Bear0_Owitnes, ponders the implications of an R800,000 business transaction, questioning how much Gwabeni must earn annually if he can make such a significant sum in a single deal. This line of thinking highlights the need for further investigation and transparency.
Amidst the calls for justice for AKA and Tibz, there is a sense of frustration and disillusionment with the state of the world. @MalakoaneElvis aptly captures this sentiment, remarking, “The world is a messed up place.” The ongoing speculation and uncertainty surrounding the murder case only serve to deepen this feeling of unease.
The Investigation Continues
As the investigation into the murder of AKA and Tibz progresses, it is essential to separate fact from fiction and allow the legal process to unfold. While social media may provide a platform for speculation and opinions, it is crucial to rely on verified information and official statements.
Gwabeni’s explanation sheds some light on the R800,000 deposit, but it remains to be seen how this revelation will impact the overall case. As the truth slowly emerges, it is our hope that justice will prevail and the families of the victims will find closure.
In the meantime, the public’s demand for transparency and answers is a reminder of the importance of accountability and thorough investigations. Only by uncovering the truth can we ensure that justice is served and that similar tragedies are prevented in the future.
