Nota Baloyi Demands Justice For AKA. Nota Baloyi, a self-described businessman and music executive, calls for justice for the late rapper Kiernan Jarryd Forbes, better known by his stage name AKA.
AKA was assassinated together with his close friend Tebello ‘Tibz’ Motsoane while they were on Florida Road in Durban.
They were murdered more than three months ago, yet the killers have still not been apprehended. CCTV recorded the couple’s dying moments. There are currently no solid leads on the matter. Despite the numerous unfounded rumors in the media, this is accurate.

The only thing that should be supported, according to Nota, is the prosecution of their assassins. Nota highlighted his concerns with the #JusticeForAKA movement’s silence on Twitter.
“What happened to #JusticeForAKA? He was a cash cow when he was alive & now they are milking him in death… God did not call Kiernan, he was murdered in cold blood. Not a cent should be spent on anything other than bringing his killers to justice!”
Police recently denied rumors that the murder weapon used to kill the late rapper had been discovered. As a result, SAPS issued a statement debunking the allegations in the current situation.
The statement read in part:
“Some media houses, who clearly seem hell-bent to botch any police endeavours to find the killers and bring justice to the families of the victims, started the day on Tuesday morning with unsubstantiated rumours and malicious allegations about the recovery of the so-called murder weapon.”
Lt. Col. Robert Netshiunda, the provincial police spokesperson for the Durban SAPS, continued by highlighting the negative repercussions of the continual pursuit of leads that haven’t been verified.
“This insensitive, unethical and inconsiderate reporting has great potential of arming the persons of interest with ammunition to further complicate police progress into the matter.”
“Journalists are also advised against formulating uncorroborated allegations for the sole reason of triggering a reaction or soliciting commentary from the police. The zeal to break the story should never surpass the responsibility to report truthfully and ethically.”
“I don’t want to say no I don’t think there will ever be arrests, I just don’t know if there will ever be arrests… I want to believe that the law will run it’s course. And the investigation will be handled in the best way possible. I don’t want to be negative and not believe that will happen, it’s just not the most important thing for me. Because nothing will bring him back.
“I believe that obviously this is an organized crime, this is a hit. We all saw the video… so I do believe somebody is behind this. There are two things here, somebody who pulled a trigger. And I don’t think it would help me if I knew who that person was.”
