According to Eyewitness News, state prosecutors Advocate Elvis Gcweka and Advocate Lawrence Gcaba informed the court that they were ready for trial.
AKA was assassinated outside a restaurant on Florida Road in Durban on 10 February 2023. His friend and former manager, Tibz, who was with the rapper at the time, sadly became collateral damage.
The trial has faced repeated delays, and Briefly News reports that the accused face charges of murder, conspiracy, attempted murder, firearm possession, and money laundering.
Two others, who were the alleged shooters, remain in custody in Eswatini awaiting deportation to South Africa.
South Africans are losing hope
Meanwhile, fans' hopes for a resolution are dwindling, as many now fear it will end up just like the Senzo Meyiwa case that has been ongoing for a decade.
Speaking on the late Orlando Pirates goalie's case, Briefly News reported on Advocate Malesela Teffo's claims that it has been purposely delayed.
DonaldMakhasane said:
"You will find out five years later that it's still the wrong suspects."

"We will never find out who killed AKA and Tibz."
ShowRoom05 was furious:
"Those bloody dogs, they took one of our best musicians from us."

"Without the death penalty, this is just a waste of time."
Advocate Malesela Teffo defends Kelly Khumalo
In an earlier report, Briefly News shared online reactions to Advocate Malesela Teffo defending Kelly Khumalo against cyberbullying.
The disbarred lawyer emphasised that the country needed Kelly for her testimony to put the Senzo Meyiwa case to rest once and for all. He pleaded with others to refrain from harassing her.
However, social media users suspected that the former advocate may have been coerced into making the statement, especially after the explosive allegations he made against Kelly days prior.
