Two brothers likely to face trial in South Africa for the murder of rapper AKA

Two brothers accused of being the gunmen in the murder of rapper AKA and his friend, chef Tebello Motsoane, in Durban's Florida Road in February 2023 are likely to return to South Africa to face trial. The trial is scheduled for July next year.

Siyabonga Gezani Ndimande and Malusi David Ndimande have been resisting extradition attempts from Eswatini but have now abandoned this stance, according to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA).

Arrested in Eswatini in February 2024, the brothers were contesting a court decision that granted an extradition order in August 2023, requiring them to return to South Africa to stand trial alongside five others for the murders.
