JOHANNESBURG - Police Minister Bheki Cele broke his silence on his absence at the murder scene of Kiernan’ AKA’ Forbes.

The rapper was gunned down alongside his long-time friend and celebrity chef Tebello ‘Tibz’ Motsoane on Durban’s Florida Road. The pair were laid to rest over the weekend; however, police are yet to arrest any suspects.

Cele, who is known for visiting crime scenes, said there was no need for him to attend since he was in contact with AKA’s family and KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi. According to SA HipHop Mag, Cele said he also received a “beautiful” message thanking him from the rapper’s father, Tony Forbes.

The KZN police commissioner told TimesLIVE that only the Forbes family would be given updates on the case. He said while no arrests have been made, a few people have been interviewed in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng.

Mkhwanazi also said that statements, CCTV camera videos, and the ballistic report from forensics have been collected. He added that the team is putting together evidence to create a solid case.
