Judgement has been reserved until Wednesday in the bail hearing of double murder accused Mziwethemba Harvey Gwabeni and Lindokuhle Ndimande . The pair are among five suspects linked to the killings of rapper Kiernan 'AKA' Forbes and his friend Tebello 'Tibz' Motsoane in February 2023.
In contrast, the state argued they had new evidence linking Gwabeni directly to the murders. “We now have video footage of applicant one at the airport when Mr Forbes arrived at King Shaka International Airport to meet his entourage. There’s evidence of the accused following them, standing near the deceased at the vehicle hire place, driving the BMW in question, and telephone records placing him near the hotel. The CCTV footage from ACSA at the airport is new evidence,” said Gcaba.
