Seven individuals accused of the murders of rapper Kiernan "AKA" Forbes and businessman Tebello "Tibz" Motsoane have entered not guilty pleas in a Durban High Court, according to reports. The charges include double murder, attempted murder, and firearms-related offenses. The seven accused individuals are Lindokuhle Mkhwanazi, Lindani Ndimane, Siyanda Myeza, Mziwethemba Gwabeni, Lindokuhle Ndimande, Malusi Ndimande, and Siyabonga Ndimande.
