CENTRAL KAROO - Patriotic Alliance leader Gayton McKenzie is demanding that police “meticulously investigate” the assassination of Kiernan ‘AKA’ Forbes and his long-time friend Tebello’ Tibz’ Motsoane.
The pair were shot and killed outside a popular restaurant on Durban’s Florida Road last week, leaving South Africans reeling in shock and horror. Reacting to the deaths, McKenzie expressed heartache.
Taking to Facebook, the politician mourned the loss of the pair. He said he hopes the killers are brought to book and there isn’t a repeat of the Senzo Meyiwa case.
“I don’t know what happened. We can all just speculate and wait for the investigations,” said McKenzie.

'What I do know is that this story can get uglier. I’m asking the cops to meticulously investigate and to please avoid a Senzo repeat,” said McKenzie.
Meyiwa was gunned down in 2014 during an alleged house robbery at his then-girlfriend Kelly Khumalo’s family home in Vosloorus. According to TimesLIVE, his family is still awaiting justice despite five people being put on trial.

RIP AKA: Mzansi understands President Cyril Ramaphosa’s decision to deny Supa Mega a state funeral
Briefly News also reported that Kiernan “AKA” Forbes will not be granted a state funeral despite Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi requesting the honour.
President Cyril Ramaphosa denied the request that would have provided greater financial support towards events surrounding the slain rapper’s funeral. AKA and his long-time friend, Tebello “Tibz” Motsoane, were gunned down in Durban’s Florida Road last week.
Lesufi’s office said he had visited the Forbes family to inform them of the president’s decision. According to TimesLIVE, he said AKA should receive some form of honour.
