Pre-trial hearing into AKA, Tibz murders postponed to July

DURBAN - The pre-trial hearing into the murder case of rapper Kiernan "AKA" Forbes and entrepreneur Tebello "Tibz" Motsoane has been adjourned to July. 

Five men accused in the high-profile murder case returned to the Durban High Court on Thursday for a pre-trial. 

The matter could not proceed due to some outstanding issues in the case.

Forbes and Motsoane were killed on Durban’s popular Florida Road while leaving a restaurant in many in 2023.  

KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) Judge President Thoba Poyo-Dlwati said the accused would remain behind bars.

"The matter then, Mr Mkhwanazi, Ndimande, Myeza, Gwabeni and Ndimande is adjourned to 24 July 2025 - you must be here by 9:30 and you will remain in custody."
