TWO suspects who were arrested in Eswatini accused of killing Mzansi hip hop star AKA are expected to appear in court on Tuesday, 5 March.
Siyabonga Ndimande and Melusi Ndimande will appear at the Manzini Magistrates Court in Eswatini for extradition processes to commence.
Mzansi is expected to apply for the extradition of the two suspects to be brought back to Mzansi to join the other five accused in the murder of AKA and Tibz.
The two were arrested in Eswatini while hiding in Mbabane, confirmed by KZN police commissioner Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi Monday, 26 February.
It is reported that the two had been hiding in Eswatini since the murder of AKA in February 2023.
Their lawyer Sivesonke Ngwenya said at the moment he will not say much about what will happen in court.
