- The investigation into the murder of South African rapper Kiernan 'AKA' Forbes and his close friend Tebello Motsoane will be taken over by the KwaZulu-Natal Organised crime team.
This was confirmed by the province's spokesperson Captain Robert Netshiunda.
It's believed the rapper and Motsoane - who was an entrepreneur and Forbe's business partner - were leaving Wish' restaurant on Florida road when two men on foot fired shots at them.
A third victim, believed to be Forbes's bodyguard was injured and taken to hospital.
AKA's family - in a statement - has asked for space as they wait for the circumstances surrounding the shooting to become clearer.
Netshiunda says the motive for the killing is unknown. Now let us get the latest from Durban we now cross to our reporter Jayed Paulse.

This man made me fall in love with South African music I wasn't even a rap head but I turned one cos of him it was something about him, his personality. Can't believe someone will do this to him he didn't deserve this. It's pathetic how people can be this wicked taking a few pocket change just to take another man's life. Sheesh this streets ain't safe no more better alone than have a whole bunch of friends. Hope justice is served.
If is not beef is revenge, South Africa turned into graveyard County, so sad to hear that AKA is gone my condolences to his fans and family from🇭🇲
You will be surprised to know that it could a random incident where harsh words were exchanged, but in KZN especially (not ruling out the rest of SA) far to many people are ready to die, and itching to kill - to use 2pac phrasing
This is definitely some revenge
Revenge for what
That was a hit and it was paid for
This was no random killing, the number of shots clearly show this was very personal... Whether Durban or elsewhere, he was targeted...the others were shot to confuse and create doubt but we know he specifically was the target.
FRFR..
Paid Cops prolly did it
@@RafijahSianoTV if you think so,you people have to keep an eye open with the foreigners.they created trouble in the country.division and untrustworthy feelings between you people so you can’t stand together for some reasons.
Don’t give negative news to much power.
Bonga spoke so well. I feel for AKA's family. Sending love to Kairo..,💗💗💗💗
Please bring back the death penalty....open up Robben Island and take away all rights for criminals in prison....R.I.H.P Brother😥
Thank you
People been Saying Tat Bt The Justice n the Law don't wanna Listen.🤷♂️💔
No it is not a great idea. We need more trained detectives to investigate and Crack these cases. Otherwise many innocent people will be victims of Death penalty.
I am from Botswana and was saying the same thing. We don’t joke over there, you get hanged
Corruption is a culture in SA..The killings are just one of the symptoms of a corrupt nation.
Still unbelievable. Not our Kiernan... :(
@dandon1105 Plot twist: Im not South African
Yoooh. Im broken... Supa Mega 💔😥😥😥
@@prettyhuis6650 ☹😥 its not sinking in hey
This case looks the same as Senzo Meyiwa, DJ. Sambody, Ma5Rand, etc. Nothing will be done. This murder cases will go cold shem. Our artists are finished 💔😭. Banana Republic country 💔😭
We all know, the police are not going to do anything, the case is going to go cold, just like the rest of the cases😏😪
I support your statement 100% true this case it does not need investigation it only needs arrest only
💯💯 that's true and sad
SA is ruled by crime and addicted to crime - to paraphrase 2Pac
It sort of reminded me of lucky dube's case. lord rest in peace AKA
Sad truth..
Very devastated from Uganda. My prayers and thoughts with Kiernan Forbes' family!
Whenever I see a headline with AKA, I tend to brace for something tragic or bad but nothing like this. Thoughts and prayers to the families.
Jesus Christ is the way to eternal life. This world has nothing of eternal value to offer. One minute a man is alive and in a second gone.
The little flowers don't mean he's less loved.
We black people are not flower people.
This case will not get solved soon. Just like every other issue in South Africa, the SAPS and the Government take forever to solve cases and issues. Even Nelly`s case has not been solved, I believe that she did not commit suicide.
Well spoken my brother we'll spoke the AKA fan really spoke it's really sad to see a South African icon being killed on that senseless maner 😪😪😪😪😪😪😪
They underestimated AKA , this guy was loved. People will fight to get the truth
We hope so. Not only for AKA but for justice in general. Too many people are dying like this in South Africa
We sick of crime in South Africa....
We still Going to Be In This Kind Of Situations if Nothing is Being Done.
And the cops will do nothing about it,it seems there is no law in south Africa, crime upon crime everywhere in south Africa , killing people is a childs play in south Africa, everyone has a gun in south Africa imagine a young boy under the age of 18 pass by my salon after school to get a haircut was having a gun with him , imagine a mere school boy what will he do if he grows up, a country with no pity
Chief you won't find the Killer's!!!!!! The are most probably not even in KZN by now. It's difficult to even find the person who sent the Killer's because you won't be able to track down the Killer's! Whoever put out the Hit must have alot of money because it can't be cheap doing a hit on a guy like AKA. We may have an idea where it came from but what you can't prove doesn't count. South African police services are useless,they can't find Senzo Meyiwa's killers when they were in the house with him... They definitely won't find these criminals who took Aka from his loved ones! RIP King🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
Isn't there footage? Public can maybe identify those two killers? If they release it
Truly Spoken...😭😭😭😭🤞🏾
Well spoken, it's gonna be difficult. I just hope it doesn't become a cold case 😥
If you believe there'll be justice you must not be south african
Ice cold, but fact
True that fam
Only if you steal a loaf of bread, murder is a joke
There will be. Just not the kind people expect.
So heartbroken. 😢sending our condolences to Kairo and the rest of the family. RIP all the love from 🇬🇧
Crime is just insane in South Africa. IT IS TOO MUCH
Question Nelly's father he was not satisfied with his daughter's death and please may he rest in peace as for those useless police they will keep on saying we invistigating
Yup
I'm in pain watching from Canada 🇨🇦 😢
Lucky you, what you doing in Canada?
@@thembelandesi4741 working in Ontario 🙏
So lucky can't wait to ship out of SA cause wow!
We happy for you Sister...we wish you even more success.
It was a hit
May his soul R.I.P. Amen 🙏. Deepest condolences to the family and friends.
The people taking pictures are infuriating
If Witchcraft was a PERSON🙄
ur phones shame niyabora those people they are going to die too they don't own this world batla swa from difamily tsa bona kaofela sametime sis a coward edula etshwere a gun moetsamayang
Never thought this would happen to aka ever in my life , wouldn't believe this at all🌹🌹🌹💔💔😭😭😭🌧️🙏🙏🙏🌧️🌧️🤟😔
Where is CC footage, we won't calm down when we haven't even received answers with Senzo Meyiwa
It is very sad. The crime rate in South Africa is staggering.
It's gonna get worse..Waaay worse.
I watched the footage and It's haunting. I've recently lost my older brother which is devastating asf and this makes me think of him. I don't understand murder and I never will. I feel genuinely sick after over watching the ctc footage.
My Friend. Many many of our brothers are slain like this and justice is never truly served.
Apart from Aka's music, it's hard not to assume the way he presented himself in public was the cause for his demise. People out for vengeance ? we can't rule that out. Still, it is inhumane to take a life based on hatred/revenge. Let's love our neighbors regardless of their status.
was he some gangster ? no . how did he present himself in public that makes u believe that he brought it upon himself ? what did he do that is so outrageous that it put a target on his life ?
he was not some thug . he is like a drake , post dumb tweets on social media .
@@anniedeedrix6732 exactly. Reagan is stupid
@@anniedeedrix6732 I don't think you followed what happened before, a number of situations before whether it was a fan encounter, beef with individuals, or most tragically, the suicide of his gf? so many things pointing to something and that couldnt have come from no where. You don't have to be a thug to be a target.
@@rcboy17 Myself i thought it might be connected to his girlfriend somehow. Hope they get to the bottom of it cos being shot like that eish its a sad way to go.
You touched my life at first with "the world is yours"...I'm overseas working and I hear of your tragic death...I am heartbroken
As a place with many establishments I would assume that there’s are several safety measures and security around… this is insane
Bro, everyday I thank the Lord for keeping me alive, we are in full crisis now, and people are just burying their heads in the sand because ignorance is bliss. Security companies are the law unto themselves, people aren't afraid to go to prison anymore, far to many guns in civilian population, and unemployment rate means if you have balls, get gun and live a life of a hitman
How is the SAPS going to solve this when they are struggling with Senzos case for years now. 🤔
Maybe the kzn ones are not as incompetent as those here in Johannesburg.
These ones could not even jump to the gas tanker to help move people before the main explosion yet they were just around the corner. They were probably eating fat koks
There's footage this time
T wasn't even a target but got hit in the crossfire... RIP to you too King🕊️🕊️🕊️
Word RIP tibs 😢
RIP but he was a target. Check the newer CCTV footage where they shoot him at point blank range and very directly.
Leave the family alone for God's sake
ANC government failed us as a nation. Izibhambu zigcwele kubantu ngenxa yakhe
Eish SA Rap Game turning into USA rap scene from the 90s. R.I.P AKA. Had and opportunity to meet him in person when he released clothing at Sports Scene what an awesome guy. Go well legend.
Stop being dramatic. How many SA rappers have been killed violently in the last 10 years.
@Robby Lebotha ™ not sure can you educate me here. Don't know of any gunned down or maybe I'm living under a rock.
True😪😪
@@robbylebotha Its the beginning..soon some1 will follow.
Nah this is the beginning brah, expect more after this... This envy is thick in the air, you can cut this evil with a knife
This is so sad, my heartfelt condolences to the family & friends
💔💔😢
Very sad AKA just left in this way, we Ghanaians loved him 😢 💔 I kept staring at the reporter tho😍
Rip Kiernan Jarryd Forbes, you will be missed
This is so sad shame honestly andfun umgatsho. May his soul rest in peace. Condolences to his family.

The bigger u get the more enemies u begot(this life every Human must know the rules of success and failures RIP brother's may ur blessed soul rest to return again
Just tragic man 💔💔💔💔
Wooo shame police wanting justice, do they even know how to spell the word "JUSTICE" when they couldn't get same justice for Senzo till today. Wow justice my foot.. 😡😡😡😡😡
What is the point of taking pictures of someone who has passed on??will they do that to their family mxm
May this case be resolved
Right, people are so insensitive and cruel, yoh
This looks like was a hit nothing else. Bloody awful thing to happen. What do you gain from killing another person? Even if its vengeance it's disgusting. May their families be strengthened at this difficult time💔🌹
SABC can you please learn to respect people's privacy at a tragic time, c'mon.
What happened to the lady he was with that committed suicide. Their family was so calm.
@@monicasmiths386 maybe it's her friends to blame
AKA was black excellence. Your music will live on Supa Mega.
He was colored
Don't lie, coloured, they don't see themselves as black but white, they only like to have sex with gullible black prostitutes
@@Neo_Rain146yep, some of us coloured folks identify as black (non white). AKA was black excellence just like Trevor Noah
@@Prime-Time-Scenes Ya but he wasn’t black. Most coloureds don’t identify as black. Hence their voting habits in the WC
All humans are colored.
South Africa not safe to anyone 😢
It’s still breaking my heart even the video of him being shot is still making me cry
This is so disturbing, RIP AKA, My deepest condolences to his daughter, mom n the entire family.
This is such a hard blow indeed
I am a big fan of AKA & i feel very bad about what happened to him, the pain i'm feeling right now it's the same pain which i felt after what happened to his fiancee who tragically died as a results of falling from the balcony. May his soul rest in peace.
Super Mega AKA thank you rest in peace and to his friend too thank you to the fan who made such a beautiful tribute AKA was one of the best artist south Africa ever had he took south African music to another level rest in peace Legend ❤️🤍 ❤️
What a sad 😭😭 story it is indeed💔💔💔🌹🌹🌹🌹🙏🙏🌧️
The Megacy Member was so clutch
this was saddest news today , was a big fan of Aka Rip king
RIP AKA
South Africa, South Africa please enough now, someone can't live their life in peace in this country why all this hate why🤦♀️😭
Rip
May their soul's rest in peace💔💔🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭uhlangene nembila zithutha
Its so sad that south africans kill their own talent! It leaves little courage for the rest of the country to follow their dreams. Because people who are greedy and want to be on top would take a life for it!
Tembe`s family this is obvious
A whole police man talking about "beef" the suspects are obvious ATP...
Aka is legend like sidhu moosewala... #justiceforboth
What a boss he was respect to him also top Punjabi artist
Why though !!!!??? :(
Yoh
So ppl are taking Picture🙄
Sooooo sad
Prayer for justice
RIP to them both
THEY GOT IT ON CCTV
This is hurting me right now watching this😭😔
Crime is a big problem in this country we need to change the police minister and all the top cops working with him cause crime has increase over the years
So sad moment
The guy is a real fan
Rotten society, SA needs to take a hard look in the mirror. Is this the country they want to live in.
RIP
Rest in peace
Yo I can't believe aka is gone just like that. Iife is too short guys
The question why AkA why him i am shocked the only successful coloured rapper who dominated the Rap game why must such a terrible thing happen to him
Sad sad sad 😢
Did the cop just say 'Beef" on national TV
He did. 🥲
😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Rest in Power Bhova!❤❤❤❤ Buccaneer 🖤🩶🖤🩶
This is a high profile hitting...shame AKA,he did not know,he was in love
Ooh Kairo😭😭😭 eish
"Moses ntembe"... Anele ntembez father next time people must respect people from kzn.... The "rolex saga" is far from over... The ntembe family's statement is ticking all the boxes.... Next time people should pick their enemies wisely
What do you mean?
Inkabi did it but who sent them ? Who had motive
Who is inkabi?
@@chantellekatire4356 it means hitman
Maybe Anele's dad
SAPS will definitely be paid to throw this case
Death is never timely. R.I.P AKA
So sad why kill. A SUCCESSFUL PERSON. Eish .
Let's south africa change constitution we are tired of gun shot and they can't find those hits man's that terrible and disgusting
Its kinda weird how people are taking pictures and laughing out loud like nothings happened. Tf!?
This guy is well-spoken tho.
Jealousy and revenge … :( Condolences 😞🙏🏼
