AKA-Tibz trial: Witness recalls Tibz saying, ‘I can’t breathe’ after shooting
A witness testified at the Durban High Court in the case involving the February 2023 shooting of rapper Kiernan 'AKA' Forbes and Tebello 'Tibz' Motsoane. The pair were shot outside a Durban restaurant. According to the witness, Motsoane repeatedly said, "I can't breathe," after the shooting. The account placed the statement close to the moment when he and Forbes were attacked. It also showed that Motsoane remained able to speak despite the distress he described, though the witness did not discuss his condition for long afterward. The testimony forms part of the AKA-Tibz trial, where the circumstances of the shooting are being examined.
