According to the news outlet, police sources in Durban stated that AKA was shot dead in a drive-by shooting. A person believed to be AKA’s bodyguard, per IOL, was also wounded.

The Times also reported that AKA was standing outside a popular restaurant when he was gunned down in the shooting.

Speaking to TimesLIVE, ALS paramedic Garrith Jamieson said that they responded to a shooting incident after 10:15pm on Friday.

“On arrival, paramedics met total chaos and a scene where two men, believed to be in their late 30s,  sustained multiple gunshot wounds,” said Jamieson.

“Paramedics assisted the men and unfortunately the first male had sustained multiple gun shot wounds and showed no signs of life and was declared deceased at the scene.” The motive for the shooting is unknown.

The parents of AKA, Tony and Lynn Forbes, confirmed his death in a statement issued Saturday morning, per the Citizen.

“It is with extreme sadness that we acknowledge the passing of our beloved son, and confirm his untimely and tragic passing on the evening or February 10, 2023. We are awaiting further details from Durban police,” read the statement.

“To us, Kiernan Jarryd Forbes was a son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend, most importantly father to his beloved daughter Kairo,” his parents wrote.

“To many, he was AKA, Supa Mega, Bhova and the many other names of affection his legion of fans called him by. Our son was loved and gave love in return.”

The rapper posted to Instagram earlier Friday about his upcoming album, Mass Country, set for release later this month. Fans flooded his comments upon hearing the news of his death. He also tweeted about his new album earlier that day.

AKA is one of the most acclaimed artists in South Africa’s thriving hip-hop scene. He is well known for hit singles “Fela in Versace” and “All Eyes on Me.”

He released the album Prada earlier this year. His single “Lemons (Lemonade),” was released in 2022 to high praise, and was named one of Rolling Stone’s top Afropop Songs that year.

Mason Greenwood: Manchester United forward has all charges against him dropped

Mason Greenwood: Manchester United forward has all charges against him dropped

MASON Greenwood today had all charges of attempted rape, assault and coercive control against him dropped.

The Manchester United striker, 21, was first arrested in January last year after police swooped on his mansion.

Greenwood was due to stand trial in November accused of attempted rape, assault and coercive control.

The Crown Prosecution today confirmed they had dropped all charges against him.

A spokesperson said: “We have a duty to keep cases under continuous review.

“In this case, a combination of the withdrawal of key witnesses and new material that came to light meant there was no longer a realistic prospect of conviction.

“In these circumstances, we are under a duty to stop the case.

“We have explained our decision to all parties.

“We would always encourage any potential victims to come forward and report to police and we will prosecute wherever our legal test is met.”

Greenwood last appeared in court in November where a trial date was set for November 23 this year.

The alleged offences related to one woman and were said to have taken place between November 1, 2018, and October 15, 2022.

Greenwood was accused of “repeatedly engaging” in controlling and coercive behaviour for almost four years – including making threats and derogatory comments on social media.

He was also charged with attempting to rape the woman on October 21, 2021, and allegedly assaulted her between December 12, 2021, and December 31, 2021.

The footballer was originally remanded in custody after being charged by police on October 15.

But a judge released him on the condition he does not contact witnesses, including the complainant, and resides at an address in Bowdon.

The striker also spent three nights in custody after he was arrested at his £15,000-a-month rented home in Trafford last January.

He was suspended from Utd but still received his £75,000-a-week salary.

Greenwood was removed from FIFA 22 and dropped by sponsors Nike in the wake of the allegations.

Football Manager 2022 also confirmed he would not feature in the game.

All merchandise bearing the No11’s name was axed from the official Utd site and teammates unfollowed him on Instagram.

Greenwood last played for the Red Devils on January 22 last year when the team beat West Ham 1-0.

The player joined the team aged just six and rose through the ranks to land himself a regular spot on the first team.

Making God Greater: An Interview with Pastor G on the Collaboration ‘MAGNIFY’

Pastor G, who recently collaborated with iconic gospel singer and worshiper Pastor Bonnie Deuschle on the song “Magnify,” shared his thoughts on worship and its significance in a recent interview.

Magnify which dropped last Friday also features Janet Manyowa and Tembalami together with the voices of Bernice Tianna Munyaradzi, Sarah Deuschle, Tommy Deuschle, Jonathan Deuschle, Taps Mugadza and Nigel Nyangombe.

According to Pastor G, worship is about making God the centre of everything and ascribing worth or value to Him.

“I believe that worship is about centring on whom God is in relation to us, putting God in his rightful place. The word worship itself comes from the word worth-ship, ascribing worth or value to something,” he explained.

“When you look at a song like Magnify, it talks about making God bigger and us, less.”

When it comes to the song “Magnify,” Pastor G sees it as a call to action for believers to put God back in the centre of their lives. He believes that in a world where people are often focused on making a name for themselves, worship is about making sure that God’s name and word increase above everything else.

“I believe the song Magnify is a rallying call to all believers to put the name of the Lord first, in light of the past Covid pandemic, it was a period of great tribulation, a period of great trial and testing for a lot of people, said Pastor G.

“We lost loved ones, we lost hope, and in some circumstances, we lost opportunities. So, magnify is a rallying call to say let’s put God back in the centre of our lives.”

Pastor G also shared his admiration for Pastor Bonnie Deuschle, whom he referred to as a mother in the gospel music community. He credited her with pioneering contemporary worship in Zimbabwe.

“I believe that Pastor Bonnie is a real mother in the sense that she pioneered contemporary worship in Zimbabwe by and large in terms of the contemporary sound of gospel music,” he revealed.

“So, she is a mother in that respect and one of the people who made it possible for a lot of us to then do that genre of music, so she is a mother to a lot of us worship leaders and gospel artists.”

Pastor Bonnie Deuschle is co-founder and co-pastor of Celebration Church, one of the largest in Zimbabwe along with her husband Tom.

Added Pastor G: “She has done a lot to show us how to make sure that we do music that is vertical; that points to God and not just our talents and gifts but to the name of Jesus as the answer and foundation for all life.”
