Three of the suspects arrested in connection with the popular rapper’s murder could also have been involved in the 2022 shooting of a taxi owner.

As the murder case of A-list musician Kiernan ‘AKA’ Forbes and his friend Tebello Motsoane continues, police have announced that the men arrested for his death may also have been involved in the 2022 fatal shooting of a taxi owner in Doonside, Amanzimtoti.

Five have appeared in the Durban Magistrate’s Court, while the other two are being held in Eswatini , awaiting extradition back to South Africa. The two men held in Eswatini, and one of the five that have already appeared in court, are suspected of shooting and killing William Kunene at Seadoone Mall on November 9, 2022. Kunene was shot in broad daylight as he finished loading groceries into his car, only three months before AKA was shot and killed.

Advocate Harris said they come from a family that owns a fleet of taxis, and it has been suspected that Kunene’s killing had something to do with taxi route disputes. In the affidavit that was published by the Times of Eswatini newspaper, advocate Harris confirmed that the two brothers have been identified to have been involved in the Seadoone Mall shooting.
