Investigations for the murder of Tibz and AKA still underway

A few weeks ago, KZN police shared in a media briefing that they have identified the suspects who killed the pair.

KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi told the SABC that arrests will be made once a solid case is built.

Tibz was laid to rest on 16 February at Sacred Heart College in Observatory, Johannesburg. In a statement in February, his family expressed gratitude for the love and support.

“The Motsoane family are deeply moved by the national outpouring of love and support over the past few days… To us, Tebello was a son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend. To many, he was Tibz Wa Bantwana, Chief of Cool, Summer Time Cool Creator, K1 K9, and many other names of affection.

“Our son was loved, and he gave love in return. As we come to terms with the devastating truth that our only son is no longer with us, we appeal for your compassion, space, and time to congregate as a family to decide on the upcoming days.”
