ALMOST A YEAR AFTER ‘HIT’: WHAT’S THE LATEST IN AKA MURDER INVESTIGATION?

This week marks almost a year since celebrated South African rapper AKA – real name Kiernan Forbes – was gunned down by unknown attackers in Durban.

But with time, police have yet to close in on the men who pulled the trigger or ordered the attack on the award-winning star.

ALMOST A YEAR SINCE AKA WAS GUNNED DOWN

It’s been exactly 11 months since AKA and Tibz’s brutal murder outside restaurant Wish On Florida.

On that fateful evening, the rapper was dining with a group of friends ahead of his scheduled performance at Durban club YuGo.

However, the star barely made it out of the eatery when he was struck in a hail of bullets. The incident was recorded via CCTV footage.

According to one of AKA’s bodyguards, Anwar “Dogg” Khan, the star had “breached protocol” on the night he was murdered.

Speaking to Annika Larsen on her eTV show My Guest Tonight in March, Khan said: “In my absence, protocol was breached. Kiernan was called and invited to go to Florida Road (Wish), which he accepted, and he went.

“Had I been there, that protocol would not have been breached simply because that call would’ve come through the road manager.”

When asked the burning question of who he believes shot and killed AKA, the bodyguard responded: “I don’t know. Why would someone want Kiernan dead?

“He’s an icon, an idol, a mentor. He’s a supporter, a beautiful dad, and an inspiration to many people. He had employees who depended on him.”

RAPPER KNEW HIS KILLER

In December, Minister of Police Bheki Cele claimed that AKA’s killer was a “close associate.”

Speaking to Metro FM’s Faith Mangope, Cele claimed that police were still gathering information, which they had received from two eyewitnesses, who were now in police protection.

Asked if the rapper was killed by “inkabi” [hitmen], the minister said: “I guess once you are hired, you are inkabi, but some of those people were close associates [of the deceased].”

Faith interjected: “So close associates of AKA were part of orchestrating the murder of AKA according to the intelligence you’ve got so far?

Cele continued: “Let me end there. But that you have said, I think it is enough for the public to understand that we are close [to solving the case]”.

Best thing I’ve heard this year,” Black Coffee’s baby mama posted.

On X, users had mixed feelings about Enhle’s post.

@sbo19darkeauty: “If the post is about Black Coffee, it’s so unnecessary.”

@mo_hahanwa: “Imagine celebrating an accident that involved the father of your kids

@nwagbo_nelson: “She should be cancelled”.

Yooh!DJ Tira finally exposed as the real biological father of Babes Wodumo’s son Sponge, not Mamphitsha.

In the vast and often unforgiving online landscape, public figures like Babes Wodumo frequently navigate the challenges of cyberbullying. 

While she had grown accustomed to online trolling, a recent incident pushed her past the breaking point. Tragically, Mamphitsha is no longer among us, a revelation that came to light just yesterday as the events unfolded.

The sequence of events began innocently enough when Babes Wodumo penned a heartfelt birthday message to Dj Tira, a celebrated DJ in the music industry. On a Sunday, as Dj Tira celebrated another year of life, well-wishers flooded in with greetings from every corner of the country. Among them was Babes Wodumo, who took to Dj Tira’s Facebook wall to express her wishes, simply writing, “Happy birthday, Big brother.”

Unexpectedly, this seemingly benign birthday message sparked a storm of cyber attacks against Wodumo. Some online trolls took offense, alleging a romantic history between her and Dj Tira. One individual, Philile Ngubane, particularly expressed disbelief, claiming that the use of “big brother” was peculiar given their alleged past intimacy. Ngubane wasn’t alone in these beliefs, as others insinuated that Dj Tira, rather than Mamphitsha, could be the actual father of Babes Wodumo’s child.

These unfounded allegations deeply disturbed the singer, prompting her to take swift legal action against her detractors. Babes Wodumo made a public announcement on her Facebook page, stating that her legal team is actively pursuing Philile Ngubane. She urged anyone with information about Ngubane’s whereabouts to come forward, sharing a photograph and seeking contact information.

The situation highlights the perils of online interactions for public figures and the devastating impact cyberbullying can have on individuals.

Photos: Zahara’s sisters ‘raid her wardrobe, take over her house’

 

Zahara’s sisters, Lumka and Bandezwa Mkutukana, have reportedly taken residence in her Roodepoort home against the family’s wishes. 

Sources suggest that the two sisters have gone a step further, rummaging through the late musician’s wardrobe and even taking pictures in her clothes.

The 36-year-old Loliwe hitmaker, Bulelwa Mkutukana, passed away on December 11, after nearly three weeks in the intensive care unit. Despite her recent burial in East London on December 23, tensions within the family persist.

Concerns have been raised regarding the sisters’ actions, as they are said to be disrespecting cultural norms. According to a source, customary procedures, such as a ceremony to distribute the late artist’s belongings among family and friends, have not been followed. This cultural breach has led to accusations of impropriety as Lumka and Bandezwa reportedly wear Zahara’s clothes without the required rituals.

A source remarked, “Our culture says that after a person dies, we need to have a ceremony where the clothes are given out freely to family and friends. This has not been done. But they have already started wearing her clothes and parading around. Trust me, she is mad wherever she is.”

One contentious photo shows Bandezwa wearing a white dress allegedly worn by Zahara during her final performance before her passing. In response to the criticism, Bandezwa defended their actions, stating, “We were just trying them on. What is wrong with that? She is not here anymore.”

The situation has been further complicated by reported financial disputes and conflicting statements regarding Zahara’s partner, Mpho Xaba. Before Zahara’s demise, Lumka and Bandezwa faced allegations of using the late singer’s bank cards for a shopping spree. Disputes over lobolo payment and accusations against Mpho Xaba have intensified, adding to the family’s already challenging circumstances.

Adding an unexpected twist to the already tense situation, reports have surfaced claiming that Zahara’s sisters, Lumka and Bandezwa Mkutukana, encountered an unusual discovery while rifling through the late musician’s wardrobe. According to sources, amid their unauthorized exploration, the sisters allegedly stumbled upon a snake and a lizard, sending them into a panicked retreat.

In a scene reminiscent of a suspenseful drama, the unexpected encounter reportedly led Lumka and Bandezwa to hastily abandon their mission through the wardrobe, fleeing in fear. The presence of these reptiles adds a surreal element to the unfolding family drama, further complicating an already challenging period for Zahara’s grieving relatives.

As details continue to emerge surrounding the aftermath of Zahara’s passing, the narrative takes an unexpected turn with this peculiar and unsettling discovery, leaving questions about the mysterious circumstances surrounding the late artist’s possessions and the curious presence of wildlife in her wardrobe.

As Zahara’s family contends with grief, they are also grappling with internal tensions and external controversies, creating a complex situation in the wake of the beloved artist’s passing.
