Lynn Forbes, mother of the late rapper AKA, has publicly responded to the return to South Africa of brothers Siyabonga and Malusi Ndimande. The siblings, wanted in connection with the murders of AKA and his friend Tebello “Tibz” Motsoane, are now set to face trial on South African soil.
Forbes’ reaction marks a significant moment in the case, as the Ndimande brothers’ extradition from Eswatini had been delayed while they appealed against being sent back. Their appeal has now been abandoned, and arrangements for their return are confirmed.
The brothers are expected to stand trial on charges including murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition. Forbes’ comments reflect both the gravity of the case and the long-awaited progress towards accountability.
