South African rapper,
Kiernan Forbes, popularly known as AKA, was shot dead last night and the
second man who was gunned down with him has been identified as one of
his best friends and former manager, Tebello 'Tibz' Motsoane.
Tebello
was standing outside Wish Restaurant with AKA and others when gunmen in
two cars opened fire, killing both men and injuring another man said to
be AKA's bodyguard.
Tebello managed AKA many years ago before deciding on a new career path and becoming a chef and starting a clothing brand.
The
duo and others had flown into Durban on Friday, Feb 10th to celebrate
AKA's 35th birthday and perform at a club when the tragic incident
happened. May their souls rest in peace
