Web of Intrigue: Social Media Detectives Connect Dots Between Brutal Rustenburg Shooting and AKA ‘s Mysterious Slaying
Social media is buzzing with the belief that the very same culprits responsible for fatally shooting a businessman in Rustenburg on Wednesday are also the ones behind the assassination of AKA back in February this year.
A heartless attack unfolded right outside a popular coffee shop on Kock Street in Rustenburg, resulting in the tragic death of Ben Jabu Gumbi.
Online Video Evidence Sparks AKA And Rustenberg Shooting Comparison
Video evidence of the incident has been circulating widely on X, commonly referred to as Twitter. Observers on social media have pointed out the uncanny resemblance between Gumbi’s assassination and that of the acclaimed rapper AKA.
At approximately 8 AM last Wednesday, Ben Jabulani Gumbi fell victim to an ambush right in front of Platō Coffee on Kock Street. While Gumbi was engrossed in his mobile phone, one of the assailants suddenly approached him. Shockingly, without any forewarning, the gunman donning a white hat fired three shots from close range, fatally hitting Gumbi in the head. As he crumpled to the ground, the other gunman delivered a final shot before both swiftly fled the scene.
Drawing connections from the modus operandi of the shooter(s), amateur sleuths on social media pieced together the puzzle and concluded that the shooter who targeted Gumbi was the very same individual responsible for the rapper’s murder. AKA had also fallen victim to a close-range gunshot to the head from a perpetrator wearing a white beanie.
