Two unknown gunmen shot and killed AKA and his friend Tebello “Tibz” Motsoane in Durban.
When bullets were sprayed at the rapper, whose real name was Kiernan Forbes, and his friend, who is well-known as a chef and creative, they were on their way to their car.
Kiernan reportedly died after being hit by five bullets; his friend also died at the same location.
βIt was not a drive-by shooting. AKA and Tibz were killed by two suspects who walked towards them from across the street, and shot them from close range,β a police officer revealed to eNCA.
South African celebrities who are familiar with both personalities have taken to social media to mourn them.
