was shot along his long-time friend Tebello Motsoane, known as Tibz on Durban’s
Florida road which is one of the city’s most vibrant spots.
Colonel Robert Netshiunda has told the BBC that
the rapper and his associate were walking to their car when they were
approached by two armed men who shot them at close range. The assailants fled
the scene on foot.
Police have said they don’t want to speculate on
whether the murders were a result of a hit but said that possibility cannot be
ruled out.

to a nightclub for a performance as part of his birthday celebrations at the
time of his death.
AKA was known for songs like 'Fela in Versace' and
'Lemons (Lemonade)'.
