Prominent South African rapper, AKA, was tragically murdered last year outside a restaurant in Durban, shocking the nation.

The five men suspected of carrying out the murder have been denied bail by the Durban magistrate’s court, with the magistrate stating that releasing them would be reckless and irresponsible.

Police have revealed that hitmen were paid to target AKA, but the motive behind the killing remains unclear. In addition to the five suspects in custody, two more men accused of involvement in the murder are awaiting extradition from Eswatini.

The murder of AKA has sent shockwaves through the South African music industry and beyond, with fans mourning the loss of the talented rapper. As investigations continue, the country awaits justice for AKA and closure for his family and loved ones.
