The prolific rapper AKA’s suspected death at the hands of a close friend or family member has just been confirmed by the Minister of Police Bheki Cele. When the minister was doing a radio interview on Metro FM, he made the shocking claim that gave credence to people’s fears.

Now, new details regarding a police probe into the death of AKA, true name Kiernan Forbes, have been disclosed by Bheki Cele in an interview with Faith Mangope of Metro FM.
Cele informed reporters that police were still compiling evidence from the two eyewitnesses who are still under police protection.
