Johannesburg - The Ndimande brothers have landed in South Africa, marking a significant development in the investigation into the murders of rapper Kiernan “AKA” Forbes and his friend Tebello “Tibz” Motsoane. The brothers were extradited from Eswatini and are now facing charges related to the 2023 killings in Durban.
Tony Forbes, AKA's father, expressed a mix of relief and continued concern as the Ndimande brothers arrived at King Shaka International Airport under heavy police guard. While pleased with this step forward, Forbes emphasized the crucial question that remains unanswered: "Who commissioned the hit on his son?" He told eNCA, "We must not forget that the person who commissioned this is not among the seven who have now been arrested... Who's behind it?"
Forbes acknowledged the long and complicated extradition process, stating, "'Excitement' is probably not the right word. But I am pleased that we have arrived at this stage. It’s been a long time coming... I hope all seven will be there together, in particular, the brother that pulled the trigger."
Lynn Forbes, AKA’s mother, also shared her poignant reflections on social media as the festive season approaches. She expressed the deep grief and pain she continues to experience, writing about the suffocating feeling of her son's absence. "If you were the one coming home today … that would be justice for me. Everything else is just process. This South African air is suffocating today … I cannot breathe."
The return of the Ndimande brothers signifies a crucial phase in the pursuit of justice for AKA and Tibz. The question of who orchestrated the murders continues to loom large, demanding further investigation and accountability.
