On February 10, 2023, AKA and his friend Tibz were shot dead outside a restaurant on Florida Road, Durban. The shooting was a targeted attack, and authorities confirmed it was not a random act of violence.
Witnesses and video footage indicated that the shooters approached deliberately. A total of seven men have been charged in connection with the murders.
Two of these, the Ndimande brothers, were arrested in Eswatini and have now agreed to extradition. SAPS confirmed that they face 24 charges across three cases, including murder, attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and unlawful possession of automatic firearms and ammunition.
Authorities have not disclosed the exact motive behind the killings. While there has been public speculation, law enforcement continues to investigate the full chain of accountability and orchestration of the attack.
Some earlier reports incorrectly linked other suspects, which police later clarified.
During its peak, the case, according to industry commentators, highlighted the cross-border cooperation required in high-profile criminal investigations, particularly those involving organized crime and gun violence.
