The murder pretrial conference of slain South African rapper Kiernan ‘AKA’ Forbes and his friend Tebello "Tibz' Mostoane is approaching its end.
This as the State and defence have agreed on certain aspects. The Durban High Court on Thursday learnt that only minor issues need to be sorted out before the KwaZulu-Natal Judge President approves trial dates for 2026.
Lindokuhle Mkhwanazi, Lindani Ndimande, Siyanda Myeza, Mziwethemba Gwabeni, and Lindokuhle Lindo Ndimande are charged with the murders of Forbes and Motsoane, who were gunned down in Durban on Florida Road in February 2023. The two friends were killed outside Wish restaurant, where they had their last supper. The Wish restaurant has since closed down.
