Many people are still hurting over the horrific death of South African rapper AKA, actual name Kiernan Jarryd Forbes, and his admirers, The Megacy, have been seeking justice for his family.
AKA was slain with pal Tebello ‘Tibz’ Motsoane outside a renowned restaurant on Durban’s Florida Road on Friday 11 February.
According to IOL, three people have been detained in connection with the murder of Fela Versace hitmaker. On Sunday, March 26, three unknown individuals were allegedly apprehended in Cape Town, Western Cape.
When approached by the magazine, Western Cape police spokesperson Colonel André Traut declined to comment. According to him, AKA’s murder is a KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) crime, and authorities in that province should be called.
When contacted by KZN police, Colonel Robert Netshiunda stated, “We have not received any update on the AKA case.”
Anwar ‘Dogg’ Khan, AKA’s bodyguard, was recently featured on e.My TV’s Guest Tonight with Annika Larsen. Throughout the conversation, he talked about what happened before and after AKA died.
When asked about that fatal evening, Dogg revealed that the procedure was broken the day AKA was slain. He said that if he had been present, none of this would have happened because AKA was never intended to be in Durban in the first place.
“Ninety percent of our work is the manner in which we move. It’s the planning, how you pre-plan, how you schedule your timing and placing of yourself and the person [you are protecting],” he told Larsen.
“In my absence, protocol was breached. Kiernan was called and invited to go to Florida Road (Wish) which he accepted and he went. Had I been there, that protocol would not have been breached, simply because that call would’ve came through the road manager,” Dogg said.

AKA’s admirers, The Megacy, recently issued an open letter to police minister, Bheki Cele, demanding answers and justice.
It stated: “The murder of AKA was fully captured on CCTV, and there were many witnesses, yet, over six weeks later, the police have not made any arrests. The fact that there is a satellite police station right next to the restaurant at which the two were murdered and that the murderers can be seen on CCTV running past that station after the murders is an indictment on the police.
The letter continues “According to the latest data, about 82 people are murdered in South Africa every day. That means since AKA’s murder, about 3444 people have been murdered in South Africa. Mr President, if the police are not able to solve a murder case captured on CCTV, what hope is there that they will be able to solve all these murders, most of which do not have readily available leads or evidence as the AKA one?”
The Megacy also addressed the letter to the president, Cyril Ramaphosa, “Can you, with conviction, say you are satisfied with the performance of the Police Minister?”
“AKA was not just an artist, he was a patriot. He cared deeply about South Africa and performed, almost always, with the South African flag around his mic. The least South Africa can do for him right now is to ensure that his murderers are put behind bars,” the letter states.
“We demand justice for AKA. We need assurance from the police that they are indeed working on this case and that substantive progress has been made thus far”
