The Gcaba family has finally released a statement to address the allegations surrounding Mfundo’s alleged role in AKA and Tibz murder cases he is charged with by the state.
The family of a well-known entrepreneur from Durban, who has been linked to the financing of one of the individuals involved in the tragic deaths of rapper Kiernan ‘AKA’ Forbes and Tebello ‘Tibz’ Motsoane, has released a statement addressing the accusations.
