Shortly before the shooting, they sat down for drinks and a snack in a restaurant in the same building.After learning of the killing on social media early on Saturday morning, fans gathered at the spot where their idol was gunned down. Marvin Murray who sat in his car, playing an AKA song reveals where he heard the news of Forbes passing. “Uh, through social media. I mean the statuses. Uh, basically I got a lot of DJ friends who operate on Florida Road, at Keys, at Times Square and all these places. And they were placing statuses that there was a shooting at Florida around Capello. The next one was: it’s AKA. That’s when now my heart sank.

Another person at the scene of his shooting said: “So the kids love him, they love the music, and I mean, I like his music. A good vibe you know. And, he’ll be missed, he’ll be missed. Shame, he’ll be missed by lots.”anwhile, NUMSA has sent condolences to Forbes’ family. NUMSA’s General Secretary Irvin Jim says stringent measures are needed to combat crime.

“We think the issue of crime and how people are being killed randomly, it is AKA today, tomorrow it will be you and me. It is about time that we must take a stand that it should not be allowed.”

If SAPoliceService doesn't solve this one given the number of CCTV cameras on that street then I don't know.... all the footage would provide a detailed time-line pre and post the event... we could get the suspects face

😂Case is good as dead👎

We are still waiting the investigation on Somebody's killing

If there is ANC there is SABC

Let hope there are not involved like in Senzo Meyiwa

Weeeeeee I ngane gwane

Welele another lie

Why? Why has this become such a high priority? Men woman and children are murdered everyday in this country. One murder is not more important than another murder.

They better have them by Monday😤

😂😂😂 we all know how this will end. Useless mabenas

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

They should start with bodyguards fr

Few months back I had no way of taking care of my kids , had no job or money also struggling through the pandemic,so I decided to try Bitcoin trading with the help of Randy_Fxhelps I was able to earn R40,513 now am financially stable

💔

Like they did in Senzo Meyiwa and we have nothing to report...they fabricated everything

Why not do the same when farmers are tortured and murdered? Should farmers start rapping about rape, drugs and murdered before their deaths are recognized?
