‘Justice for AKA’ petition demands answers from police on investigation

AKA was murdered on busy Florida Road in Durban on a Friday night as he exited a venue on his way to perform at a show nearby. CCTV captured the incident and showed two hitmen approaching the late rapper and his group of friends from opposite sides.

Speaking to TimesLIVE, Gatsheni said: “I think the CCTV footage was the trigger for me. It broke my heart to see a life taken so candidly on a public road and afterwards treated as if life goes on.

“I hope this petition grows and people don’t stop talking about  the case and  don’t stop making noise to put pressure on the police,” she said.

The petition calls for 7,500 signatures and was on 5,500 at the time of writing this article.

“How many more of our siblings, fathers, mothers need to die senselessly before perpetrators are brought to book? We need answers from you Lt-Gen Mkhwanazi. We need updates. We refuse to forget. We refuse to move on. We need justice for South Africans. We need justice for AKA,” reads the petition.
