The National Prosecuting Authority has confirmed that an Eswatini court has granted South Africa’s request for the extradition of the two suspects wanted in connection with the murder of musician Kiernan Forbes (AKA) and his friend Tebello Motsoane.
They were gunned down on Florida Road in Durban in February 2023.
NPA spokesperson, Natasha Kara-Ramkisson, said the two, Siyabonga and Malusi Ndimande, will now have 15 court days to appeal the decision.
“Should they not appeal within the 15-court day period, then the record of the proceedings will be transmitted to the Prime Minister of Eswatini to decide on the surrender of the Respondents to South Africa.
“Following the Prime Minister’s decision to surrender, Interpol Eswatini and Interpol SA will decide on a date of handover,” she said.
Five other suspects are Lindokuhle Thabani Mkhwanazi, 30, Lindani Zenzele Ndimande, 35, Siyanda Eddie Myeza, 21, Mziwethemba Harvey Gwabeni, 36, and Lindokuhle Lindo Ndimande, 29, are also in custody and have made several court appearances.
