The long-awaited extradition of two men accused in the high-profile murders of South African musician Kiernan "AKA" Forbes and his friend Tebello "TIBZ" Motsoane is set for 11 November 2025. Siyabonga Gezani Ndimande and Malusi Dave Ndimande, brothers currently held in the Kingdom of Eswatini, are expected to be returned to South Africa to face charges related to the double murder.

The Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development, Mmamoloko Kubayi, confirmed receipt of the extradition order from Eswatini, following the brothers' decision to abandon their appeal against the extradition. The Department of Justice stated that logistical arrangements for their handover and collection are being coordinated through established diplomatic and law enforcement channels, with the pair facing charges including murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition.

The South African Police Service (SAPS), with National Commissioner General Fannie Masemola, is actively finalizing these logistical arrangements in collaboration with Interpol South Africa and Interpol Eswatini. General Masemola commended the Eswatini authorities for their crucial cooperation in apprehending the Ndimande brothers, emphasizing the commitment to bringing them to justice in South Africa.

SAPS expressed strong confidence in presenting a "water-tight case" against the accused, who collectively face 24 charges spanning three separate cases. These comprehensive charges include conspiracy to commit murder, murder, attempted murder, and unlawful possession of automatic firearms and ammunition, among other serious offenses, underscoring the gravity of the accusations.

Forbes and Motsoane were tragically gunned down on 10 February 2023, outside a restaurant on Florida Road in Durban. The Ndimande brothers were arrested in early 2024 at a rented house in Mbabane, Eswatini, after extensive collaborative efforts between SAPS and Interpol. In addition to these two, five other suspects have been arrested in South Africa in connection with the murders.
