South Africa grapples with the ongoing investigation into the murders of musician AKA (Kiernan Forbes) and his friend Tibz (Tebello Motsoane). In a recent press conference on eNCA, Police Minister Bheki Cele and Police Commissioner Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi provided crucial updates on the case.

Arrests Made Throughout the Investigation:

While the public announcement of arrests came recently, the press conference revealed the dedication of the police force. Arrests had been made throughout the investigation, starting in April 2023, demonstrating the meticulous work behind the scenes.

New Details Revealed:

The press conference shed light on the meticulous planning behind the murders. Investigations revealed that AKA was specifically targeted, followed from the airport to the restaurant where the shooting occurred.

The coordinated efforts have resulted in the apprehension of six suspects:

• Two alleged shooters
• Two suspected spotters
• The alleged mastermind behind the operation
