The Ndimande brothers, Siyabonga and Malusi Ndimande, are high-profile suspects who were recently extradited from Eswatini to South Africa to face charges related to several murders, including the 2023 killings of prominent South African rapper Kiernan “AKA” Forbes and his friend Tebello “Tibz” Motsoane.
Police suspect one of the brothers was the shooter in the Forbes and Motsoane killings. Following a legal challenge, the brothers were extradited from Eswatini to South Africa on November 11, 2025. They appeared in the Durban Magistrate’s Court on November 11, 2025, and are expected to stand trial with five co-accused in July 2026.
They are considered by the South African Police Service (SAPS) to be central figures, described as “contract killers, professional hitmen and dangerous and callous criminals”.
