Late rapper Kiernan “AKA” Forbes.
The Madlanga Commission of Inquiry has confirmed that it has received correspondence from slain rap star Kiernan “AKA” Forbes‘ father.
Tony Forbes expressed his “extreme disappointment” over the airing of his son’s last moments at the Commission last week during the testimony of Organised Crime Unit Police Sergeant Fannie Nkosi.
Forbes and his friend Tebello “Tibz” Motsoene were gunned down outside a Durban restaurant in February 2023.
The Commission’s Spokesperson Jeremy Michaels says the Commission will address the matter.
“I think it is a pity that we heard about it through the media. That was the first time that I heard about it and it would have been good to engage privately. So in that same vein, we are not going to engage publicly on this issue. It is a private matter.”
Sergeant Nkosi gave evidence about his involvement in the murder investigation into the deaths of AKA and Tibz. He told the Commission that he had been involved in the early stages of the investigation. He informed the Commission that Motsoane was the nephew of the taxi tycoon and businessman, Mthakathi Mswazi.
Mswazi, who was introduced to the Commission as a family representative of the late taxi boss Mswazi Msibi, is allegedly linked to members of the criminal underworld.
