Gcaba Family of South Africa Refutes Accusations of Involvement in AKA’s Murder

Last Wednesday, prosecutors in the rapper’s murder trial told the court that the Gcaba family is suspected to have had a hand in the murder of the rapper.

A statement presented to the court by the investigating officer alleged that one of Mr. Gcaba’s companies transferred over 800,000 rand ($42,000; £33,000) to the bank account of Mziwethemba Harvey Gwabeni, one of the suspects being tried for the rapper’s murder.

The prosecutors claimed that the suspect, Harvey Gwabeni received the money a day after the murder occurred. Gwabeni is said to have claimed in an affidavit that the funds received were a result of some business with the Gcaba family.

However, prosecutors say there was not enough evidence to suggest that both were involved in any business operations.

But the Gcaba family in a statement issued on Sunday, March 31 explained that the payment was part of several transactions between Mr Gcaba and Mr Gwabeni, which were “purely for business purposes”.
