Briefly News previously reported that Lynn Forbes is not eager to visit Durban, KwaZulu-Natal yet. This follows AKA's brutal assassination on one of the city's busiest roads.

The assassination was caught on tape, and although she does wish to visit the last place he was last seen alive, it would be too soon to visit. She made it clear to East Coast Radio's Carol Ofori that she does not hate Durban or the people.
