POLICE MAKING ‘SIGNIFICANT’ PROGRESS IN RAPPER, AKA WORLDWIDE, MURDER INVESTIGATION

POLICE MAKING ‘SIGNIFICANT’ PROGRESS IN AKA MURDER INVESTIGATION  

Police minister Bheki Cele says there has been “significant” progress in the investigation into the murder of rapper Kiernan “AKA” Forbes.

AKA and his lifelong friend and celebrity chef Tebello “Tibz” Motsoane were fatally shot at a popular restaurant in Durban on February 10. They were buried in private funerals.

Speaking on Newzroom Afrika, Cele said he was satisfied police were hard at work investigating the case and had some leads to follow.

“The investigation is going on. They [police in the province] are following some directions.

“There is progress in the case. It seems to be significant [progress],” he said.

Cele said there is no timeline for when police will make an announcement about possible arrests. 

“Sometimes it is OK to be thorough before you act in these cases, because it is no use to rush and you find your case does not see the light of the day when it goes to court. 

“We will brief the family rather than tell the media what has been done,” he said.
