One year ago, on February 10, the world was shocked by the brutal and callous assassination of South African superstar, Kiernan Forbes, better known as AKA. The incident, caught on camera, left AKA and his friend Tebello “Tibz” Motsoane lying dead on Florida Road, while the killers vanished into the night.
The initial hope was that the detailed coverage and evidence would lead to the swift capture of the culprits, bringing those potentially responsible for the murders to justice. Police Minister Bheki Cele even promised that they would crack the case, stating, “We have collected a lot of cellphone data, footage, and information. Mark this space, we are cracking the case.”
However, as we reach the one-year mark, no arrests have been made. The police’s investigation has yielded some results, such as locating the murder weapon and identifying the black Mercedes-Benz used as the getaway vehicle. There were even arrests made in Cape Town, but unfortunately, those suspects were released without any charges relating to the murders.

This lack of progress has left many South Africans concerned that AKA’s murder will become another high-profile case without justice. The long and drawn-out trial of Bafana Bafana goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa’s murder is a prime example, with doubts now arising as to whether the suspects will walk free.
Despite the lack of arrests, the police have reassured the public that they will not close the investigation until the killers and those behind the crime are caught. In a recent update by Police Minister Cele in December, he stated that the people responsible for AKA’s murder were close associates of the superstar, suggesting a possible motive.
As we wait for justice to be served, AKA’s memory lives on through his music. His songs and music videos continue to captivate and entertain fans, reminding us of the talent and charisma he possesses.
It is important to remember that justice takes time, especially in complex cases like this. The police are working diligently to gather evidence and build a solid case against the perpetrators. While the wait may be frustrating, it is crucial to allow the legal process to unfold.
As we reflect on the tragic events of that fateful day, let us not forget the impact AKA had on the music industry and the lives of its fans. His music will forever be a testament to his talent and the legacy he leaves behind.
Ultimately, we can only hope that the police’s promise to crack the case becomes a reality. AKA and his friend Tibz deserve justice, and the South African public deserves closure. Until then, we will continue to remember AKA through his music, keeping his spirit alive.
