The ongoing saga surrounding the alleged killers of South African rapper AKA, whose real name was Kiernan Forbes, has taken another turn.
Two men, Siyabonga and Malusi Ndimande, accused of the brutal murder of AKA and his friend Tebello “Tibz” Motsoane, have successfully appealed their extradition from Eswatini. This appeal, filed earlier this week, temporarily halts their transfer to South Africa, leaving many in shock.

Background Of AKA Murder Case
The Ndimande brothers were arrested in Mbabane in March 2024, following a widespread manhunt that linked them to the high-profile killings of AKA and Tibz.
The duo was slain on February 10, 2023, in a shocking attack near a popular restaurant on Durban’s Florida Road. Their deaths not only devastated fans but also ignited a surge of outrage and calls for justice across the nation.
Current Legal Proceedings
As the case unfolds, the brothers have raised concerns about their security, which they cited as the primary reason for their appeal. Meanwhile, five other suspects have already appeared in court, with one, Mziwethemba Gwabeni, reportedly labelled the alleged mastermind.
Gwabeni has denied claims that he was paid R800,000 to orchestrate the assassination. The legal battles continue as the nation remembers AKA, a legendary figure in the South African hip-hop scene.
