Durban court hears more arrests possible in AKA case
More arrests could be made in the Kiernan 'AKA' Forbes and Tebello Motsoane murder case.
Prosecutors told the Durban Magistrate's Court on Thursday that the names of more accused could be added to the charge sheet.
The rapper and his friend were gunned down on Durban's Florida Road in February last year.
Five of the seven suspects have made a brief appearance in court on Thursday.
State Prosecutor Lawrence Gcaba asked for a lengthy postponement in the case to finalise two parts of the investigation.
He says they are waiting for judgment in the extradition case of the Ndimande brothers arrested in eSwatini in connection with the case so that they can be added to this matter.

He told the court that several developments have occurred in terms of their financial investigation since the accused's last appearance, including approaching persons of interest for warning statements.
That process is still underway.
Gcaba asked for the case to be postponed to November, saying that based on what's uncovered, there could be more than five accused in court in the next appearance.
