EThekwini Municipality Mayor Councillor Mxolisi Kaunda has commended the police for arresting suspects implicated in the murders of rapper Kiernan Forbes, popularly known as AKA and Tebello ‘Tibz’ Motsoane. 

The two were killed at close range on Florida Road a year ago outside a restaurant. 

Police last night announced that the six suspects that were arrested will appear in court on Thursday, 29 February 2024. 
Mayor Kaunda said that this double murder breakthrough will bring renewed hope to the people of South Africa that the long arm of the law will catch up with anyone who commits crime.

"These developments will also restore confidence to business, investors, tourists and residents that we are indeed committed to fighting crime and make Durban a safe destination for investment and tourism,” said Kaunda.
