“Rules were broken, Kiernan Forbes was called & invited to go on Florida Road, had I been there that protocol would have not been breached. Simply because that call would’ve came through the ROAD MANAGER”. (Read More Here).
On 10 February, rapper Kiernan “AKA” Forbes was murdered in cold blood outside Wish Restaurant on Florida Road in Durban in the presence of his team and bodyguards. The two gunmen, who opened fire in full view of CCTV cameras, also shot and killed celebrity chef and author Tebello “Tibz” Motsoane.
In an interview that was aired on Tuesday, 21 March, on the e.TV show called My Guest Tonight with Annika Larsen, the slain musician’s bodyguard Anwar “Dogg” Khan opened up about that fateful night, revealing what happened in his absence.
Dogg is the owner of the Pentagon Group bodyguard service and had been protecting AKA for the past eight years whenever the musician was in Durban.
However, during his final visit to the KwaZulu-Natal city, Dogg was already booked to provide security to US rapper Abbas “Bas” Hamad, who was in South Africa at the time. As a result, he assigned one of his employees to protect the Last Time rapper.
“So I was not there with AKA in Durban for the first time in eight years,” said Khan, who has provided VIP security for the likes of Michael Jackson, Oprah Winfrey, Snoop Dogg, Alicia Keys and Kendrick Lamar.
“The protector did not have a fighting chance because the one guy was shooting at him while the other guy was shooting at AKA, and you still had people running like crazy,” Khan said.
“He was not injured but three shots were fired directly at him at less than 5m and the shooter missed. If he hadn’t dived into the vehicle for cover, that [shooter] would have got him.”
Forbes and his friend, celebrity chef and entrepreneur Tebello “Tibz” Motsoane, were shot dead just after 10pm last Friday on the pavement outside Wish restaurant in Florida Road, in what is believed to have been a professional hit.
The two gunmen, who opened fire in full view of CCTV cameras, fled on foot. Khan said he was devastated that he had not been with AKA that night.
