AKA murder: Mystery Deepens As Gcaba Avoids Arrest Despite R800k Payment

AKA murder: Mystery Deepens As Gcaba Avoids Arrest Despite R800k Payment. The murder case involving AKA and Tibz remains shrouded in mystery, with numerous unanswered questions lingering. One pressing inquiry revolves around the strength of the evidence the police possess against the notorious KwaZulu-Natal businessman, Mfundo Gcaba.

During the investigations conducted by police earlier this year, they revealed that Gcaba deposited R800K in Mziwethemba Gwabeni, who’s one of the accused in the AKA case. The money was described to be for business purposes.

According to SundayWord, law enforcement officials leading the AKA murder case investigation have stated that they will not be arresting Gcaba. During their inquiry, the police revealed that it was Gcaba who transferred the substantial sum into Gwabeni’s account. Subsequently, Gwabeni purportedly disbursed over R133,000 to each of the suspects for their role in executing the hit.

A police officer working on the AKA murder case mentioned that while it was straightforward to establish a connection between Gcaba and the purported murders, there was insufficient evidence to justify the arrest of Mfundo Gcaba. The officer cited that the monetary transactions and phone communications alone were not substantial enough to warrant bringing Gcaba in for questioning.

“The money and the two calls between him (Gcaba) and Gwabeni are not sufficient to effect an arrest or bring him in for questioning.

“The police want to establish a motive and on whose instructions Gwabeni was acting. We believe there are more powerful people involved here,” said the police officer who chose to remain anonymous.

Natasha Ramkisson-Kara, spokesperson for the KwaZulu-Natal National Prosecuting Authority, informed SundayWorld that the issue remains under investigation when questioned about why Gcaba had not been arrested. “The matter is still under investigation, and we are not at liberty to comment,” she said.
