Brothers Extradited Over AKA and Tibz Murder Case

Two brothers accused of involvement in the murders of rapper Kiernan “AKA” Forbes and celebrity chef Tebello “Tibz” Motsoane are expected to be extradited from Eswatini to South Africa today. Siyabonga Gezani Ndimande and Malusi Dave Ndimande were arrested in Mbabane earlier in Mbabane Eswatini, following a joint operation between South African and Eswatini police.

Their return follows the withdrawal of their appeal against an extradition order granted by Eswatini authorities. The suspects face charges including murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition.

The high-profile killings took place in February 2023 outside a Durban restaurant, shocking the nation and sparking widespread calls for justice. Authorities have described the extradition as a crucial step in ensuring accountability and bringing closure to the families and fans of the two beloved figures.
