CCTV footage takes centre stage in AKA and Tibz murder trial
The Durban High Court has examined surveillance footage from across 17 locations as the state reconstructs the final hours of Kiernan 'AKA' Forbes and Tebello 'Tibz' Motsoane.
CCTV footage played a crucial role in the murder trial of rapper Kiernan "AKA" Forbes and his friend, celebrity chef Tebello "Tibz" Motsoane in Durban High Court. Prosecutors presented video evidence showing a vehicle near the Wish restaurant before and after the fatal shooting in 2023. Constable Rajen Sanders, a state witness, testified about the similarities between the vehicle captured on CCTV and another found in Cato Manor a month later.
Sanders highlighted that the recovered Mercedes-Benz in Cato Manor shared the same license plate placement, color, non-functioning left headlight, and rims with the getaway vehicle used in the shooting. The defense sought to oppose the admission of a photo album containing over 50 photographs related to the Cato Manor scene, but the trial proceeded.
