Bheki Cele has explained why he didn’t have to go AKA’s murder scene.
Bheki Cele, the police minister, gave an explanation for why he didn’t go to the murder scene of slain rapper Kiernan “AKA” Forbes.
The rapper and his companion Tebello “Tibz” Motsoane were killed along Durban’s Florida Road more than a week ago.
Bheki claims that because he spoke with KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi on the phone that evening and received the information at 11 p.m., he didn’t need to go to AKA’s murder scene.
“We don’t really go for cameras. There are many places where we go without cameras. Mostly where we go we are invited by communities,”
“There was no need to go to this one because when we received the information at 11 pm, we were on the phone with the provincial commissioner talking about the team he put together, led by Brigadier [Vela] Cele, one of the best we have. He is one of the top investigators.” he said.

Cele also revealed that he also spoke at length with AKA’s father, Tony Forbes.
“The next morning, I was phoned by the family, requesting a few things to be done. I was on the phone with the family until 6 pm Saturday when the post-mortem was finished. On Sunday, I spoke at length with AKA’s father. “
“Why would I have to go to the crime scene when we have taken on board the family and they are very satisfied?”
