class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Ndimande brothers accused in AKA and Tibz murder case finally set to face justice in South Africa<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The two brothers accused of murdering rapper Kiernan \u201cAKA\u201d Forbes and celebrity chef Tebello \u201cTibz\u201d Motsoane are expected to be handed over to South African authorities next week after abandoning their appeal against extradition from eSwatini.<\/p>\n<p>The South African Police Service (SAPS) confirmed that it has received an official surrender order for Siyabonga Gezani and Malusi Dave Ndimande from the eSwatini government.<\/p>\n<p>According to SAPS spokesperson Brigadier Athlenda Mathe, all arrangements are being finalised for their return on Tuesday, 11 November 2025.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe SAPS thus confirms that it is finalising logistical arrangements to execute the order on Tuesday, 11 November 2025,\u201d Mathe said, adding that Interpol South Africa and Interpol eSwatini are working together to facilitate the transfer.<\/p>\n<p>The Ndimande brothers are facing 24 charges linked to three criminal cases, including murder, conspiracy to commit murder, attempted murder, and the unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition.<\/p>\n<p>South African police believe they have built a strong case against the pair. \u201cThe SAPS remains confident that it has a watertight case against the pair,\u201d Mathe said.<\/p>\n<p>National police commissioner General Fannie Masemola expressed gratitude to the eSwatini authorities for their cooperation, noting their efforts in helping locate and detain the brothers.<\/p>\n<p>Justice and Constitutional Development Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi also confirmed receipt of the extradition order, following the brothers\u2019 decision to drop their legal challenge on 3 November.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe department has received confirmation that the pair will be brought back to South Africa on 11 November 2025 to stand trial on charges that include murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition,\u201d said the minister\u2019s spokesperson, Terrence Manase.<\/p>\n<p>The SAPS will oversee all logistical and legal processes through established diplomatic and law enforcement channels, with details of the brothers\u2019 court appearance in KwaZulu-Natal to be announced once they arrive in South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>The arrests and pending extradition have continued to draw national attention, particularly given the high-profile nature of the case.<\/p>\n<p>AKA and Tibz were shot dead outside a Durban restaurant in February 2023, sparking a massive manhunt and months of investigation.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, ongoing discussions in Parliament have touched on internal police tensions surrounding the case, with suspended deputy national commissioner Shadrack Sibiya previously testifying that disagreements had arisen during the investigation.<\/p>\n<p>Despite such challenges, authorities maintain that the case is progressing and that justice for the slain stars is within reach.<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 4 -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><script
