Another negative report... how do you know it was a hit.. the police only theorised it ..that why I said.. WAIT FOR THE FULL INVESTIGATION..IF EVER🤷

Nobody's life is worth that amount of money. A life is priceless.

Tell me how can the reporters find these guys but the police can not. Looks like reporters should become the police

pmcafrica This is very irresponsible article and I wonder why this is only confined to KZN hence it’s a South African issue.

That taxi boss should be arrested.

Nna yena ke sure ke costa 5 ranta.

So is a profession?

Who wants imali yegazi? Who wants imali yeenyembezi ezingakaya? Will 👎🏽 enjoy shem. Feel ashamed of their families. It’s ridiculous to say the least

Yhooooooo yhoooooo yhoooooo liyaphi elilizwe? Ndikhumbula ingoma ka-sis Rebecca “Nali lizwe liphenduka; sicelukuthula ngoxolwe mhlabeni”

So why are we being told this! So we can glorify this 💩!!

This is my cue to relocate to Australia

That's too much. Some hitman kill for initiation or practice or enjoyment or fulfilment.

Propaganda tactics? What exactly are the readers suppose to do with this information?

I think you should be arrested for promoting this nonsense. Infact these documentaries about inkabi should be regarded as a crime thus you should be forced to reveal their identity

Is it not easy for the hitman to simply rob the client who wants someone killed than to end human life for no reason .

These guys can be hired and found. When i tried smuggle i learn that Big Boss will not pay Hitman. Instead will feed to Lion or something .My instance was white daimond dealers. ukinsouthafrica

This happens when the darling of the media has centralized everything in the presidency

Great journalism. I mean, just flippin' great.

It was 10 million. A source revealed.

I reported this

If he knows how much they charge,he definitely knows the people who charge

😭😭😭

The so called 'Taxi boss':

The Competition Commission must have a look into this. Who regulates these prices? We need state funded hitmen for those that cannot afford!

I wonder who could afford R250k

The F*ck is this article? What In The Actual F*ck y'all publishing? My Goodness!?

For 250k they killed him😬Surely he could have bought his life for a million..... but again, there will be another hitman & another & another. The only way to stop the hit orders was to order the hitman to kill one who hired him to kill

What is the intention of this information? Honestly our society is fed useless information everyday to continue destroying 🙃

A whole Multimillionaire '250k',prolly would have doubled that to spare his life 🥺🥺F'ed would indeed

-And it's highly unlikely that the alleged female that did the deed is still alive.... 😏

100% crass!

Does this paper have editors

Bafethu kungenwa kanjani kulomkhakha?😩

If AKA is R250k who is R500k? 😄 We need to work hard in life to be worth more.. cause R10k is definitely me rn

That it is even being discussed is an anomaly that has become normal anc accepted Like everything in this beautiful country 🙆‍♀️

arrest that taxi boss

How will this information help the process of finding thiefs hu stole mega’s life

How far is the investigation should be the next article.clearly you need ideas.

Blood money ⚰️🚮

and why would a person pay such amount.... if u innocent

I wonder how many did taxi boss killed... and how did the journalist knew about him/her.. ‼️

Or even 🍊

Stop justifying nonsense and shit... Killing people can never be considered a Proffesion.... What the hell is a professional hit? How do I get into this Proffesion 🤔 Where do I study for this Proffesion 🤔

pmcafrica I know I don’t know

So we have a 'hitman for industry' on this country and yet we have Police, SIU and intelligence unit who cant find the killers... What a wow....

Ya'll are doing in depth 'investigative journalism' there. I see how this will really help resolve the murder case. Smart move 😉😉

Mxm

Useless information this is not what we want🙄

crime is so naturalized. country is finished

KZN is a savage Kingdom, those people are way too different from normal South Africans

I honestly don't understand the point of this story.

pmcafrica This news promotes what exactly?

WTF🙄🙄😕😕🤔🤔Really

So president is R500 000?

So much nonsense

AphileMkhwanazi Naaah bro AKA hit cost was between 1.5 million Rand and 2 million Rand - we talking about AKA here not a a taxi boss or a politician.

ClarenceBaloyi In other news, water is wet

Why don't he give you guys names of those hitmen

Me getting motivated by this article to become a professional assassin.

Cap🤣🤣🤣

Ke kgopela quotation yaka.

He's lying

The most intriguing facts of the crime scene was how the killer in a public place full of people and the target was in the presence of 5 people walked up to Aka and pulled the trigger, the other thing that really stands out in this incidence why nobody gave chase to the killer?

This is proof that journalists of South Africa are capitalists and don't care about the wellbeing of the people of this country.

God deliver KZN from this blood money, Amen.

You cannot refer to something as “professional” if it is not a legally recognised profession. This is informal and amateur. It is sad when journalists do not know anything.

If someone offered me this kind of money to k*** someone i would do it. Being broke and having no source of income changed me and now i understand why people do what they do to survived. It changed my perspective about crime because i have no one to relay on but myself.

King_Figgie And the taxi boss is not arrested or interrogated 🤡

Was this article necessary though?

S.A under the ANC is lawless, the devils play ground... Dont blame this on poverty or unemployment. The majority keep voting for it so they are getting what they vite for

pmcafrica Hebaan

Strange nobody is paying attention to what Eugene said on live television about the industry's.

A Smart inkabi would have gone to AKA, confronted him, negotiated and would have been offered a better OFFER just to spare his Life.

You just writing about anything to try and get readers attention ne

Who did it, we're or interested in how much it costs....

250 k? I hope they are not seeing this at Bidvest

Find out on who killed him and stop tweeting nonsense

Media will do anything for clicks. Whats the point of this article

with the little information I have, assassinating someone of AKA's stature should cost millions considering the merits and implications of the case. Paying of police to look the other way, Getting rid of evidence, 20 or more people should be involved

Lies. Not that special in KZN.

Useless article 🚮

So Nna I guess ke Ten thou

Follow the money

Tabloid journalism Ms Govender

So this means the person behind AKA'S killing is definitely a rich person🧐

All we want hear is is the HITMAN arrested,the rest information must VOETSEK,WE CANT REALLY LIVE LIKE THIS

Ah KZN again

So he can tell who was the hitman?

I remember Carte Blanch talking about that.

Stop with the fuxck!Ng lies

Why are y'all telling us this? Find the fuvken killers. Ey, niyasi depressa maan.

MogaleBK

LenkaMokuining here’s an article of interest

Arg maan this is nonsense

We were gonna collect that money and give the Nkabi, why killing him 💔💔💔💔💔💔😭😭😭

As a matter of interest, how much do you think juju would go for?

What an unnecessary post!🚮🚮

More men are taking this job, it's easy money apparently. They call it 'umsebenzi wezinsizwa', but fact remains alikho Ikhehla eliyinkabi, they all die at 40s max.

So who did it ?

Are you trying to promote crime by telling people how much it costs to kill someone like AKA?

Apha ekasi lam... It can cost you about 500.

Ya'll had to 😒

It speaks to the general failure of the law enforcement in this country that this is a thing.

Wow really... You promoting the killings of people🙆🏾.

Get that canary to tell you the names of the assassins!

Gumm_Zoro Thank you so much for this information.

When is the truth going to come out or this is just the same story as that of Senzo. The country likes protecting stupid pathetic interests and doesn't focus on what matters the most.

We have normalized nonsense

This information is like, wanna talk like they got something to say But nothing comes out when they move their lips Just a bunch of gibberish.

Did you interview that taxi boss in prison?

Amanga. La e-SA uyabulawa naMAHHALA!! Just for control nje.

Stop giving KZN bad publicity.

Someone who subscribed please screenshot 🙏

If u from the country where one will shoot and kill another person and the shooter never found …. You are on ur own

Iphara would do it for a straw of iwhoonga.

jinglesnyathi Lol. What makes you guys think this was a “professional” hit?

68 murders a day ? Price closer to 10k I bet. Supply and demand etc.

Inaccurate information. A hit can be R100 in a country ravaged with poverty.

🙆🏾‍♂️🙆🏾‍♂️🙆🏾‍♂️

Peanuts would never risk it all for R250k .From the vid it looks like there were about 5 ppl involved + ppl that have to be paid for infor or protection how much does one get?Jail is not worth this little.

I am pretty sure that people on the streets of Durban know very well who killed AKA, they knew the minute they saw that clip who that hitman was, they heard on the street who exactly who those three killers were. They know and newspapers are interested in the price of hiring one

83 murders a day and we're still protecting the rights of killers and not debating death penalty. You wonder why life is not worth sh!t in this country.

Lol that's a lie, maybe to kill another taxi boss it's that much, but an international artist cannot be that range, a million plus very easy.

That taxi boss is broke, neskwele sakhe somewhere in the outskirts

So the police they just sit down and discuss the prices of killing people? With the hires ? They'll be like u know what Mr officer mina engivamise kubabulalisa bangibhadalisa R10 000

Why does he know so much ? And also how to price hits ? SAPS really doesn't have intelligence units to monitor people

Hayi suka

Are you all crazy? Is this free marketing or what? Kwaze kwanzima

I suppose that the cost also includes the cost to bribe the police to look the other way. Surely that is factored in giving how this trade has mushroomed in a relatively short space of time

In a country that has high unemployment rate; this article really makes you wonder if the editors really care about this country. It is a free marketing campaign for those who could care less about human life. The article has to be removed. This is Bad journalism!

How they find these guys to hire that's another queste

Mxm, rubbish

I wonder how much i cost 🤔 🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣 iyoo

R250 000 is fokol money really. Especially a hit on a high profile target like AKA. Just goes to show a life means little or nothing in South Africa...

AKA was probably involved in some dodgy dealings and somebody got a touch jealous or angry for a deal that went haywire.

The fact that this Taxi boss knows that kind of info just clarifies the criminal nature the taxi industry is. The police are so in bed with the taxi bosses. 😡

😭💔

Tjerrr tjesees, evil people activities

That inkabi who was interviewed said it all.

Africa will remain a cursed place

That taxi boss is taking nonsense he is number one suspect

But that’s impossible, Surely this is a mistake. There are only guns in the United States. No other country has guns anywhere in the world.

Hebanna. Most os us can afford inkabi🤭

It was not a hit it was a sacrifice this entertainer's sell their souls to devil thinking they are going to be king's when they die not knowing they are going to be tokoloshis who slaves to make money for upcoming illuminatis, very stupid this guys

That money is not worth the pain the killers bring to the families. It’s not even money that will transform your life 😭 mxm 💔

Saze sasiphila isi Mafia State

I mean, the killer wouldn't have thought like, I want to double this money by calling AKA or his family and told him or them, bro I was hired to kill you with a 100K deal and give him all the information, and tells him, if you want to live, double that money.

Only black people can accept to kill someone who’s worth billions with that cheap price…if I was contracted I would’ve gotten it done by asking R100million if less I would’ve approached AKA and negotiate so I can kill his killer

Ey man this is really useless information

so thina general people cost less😏
