JOHANNESBURG - The State alleges the money paid for the hit on Kiernan 'AKA' Forbes and Tebello 'Tibz' Motsoane came from a man named Sydney Mfunda Gcaba.
The State alleges that accused number four, Mziwethemba Gwabeni, made a call to Gcaba on 11 February last year, a day after Forbes and Motsoane were killed, and shortly after the call, a sum of more than R803,000 was paid into his account.
The money came from a company called Bright Circle Pty (Ltd), of which Gcaba is the sole director.
This was revealed when State prosecutor, Elvis Gcweka, read out the investigating officer's affidavit in court.
"When the money was transferred, the reference used was 'Consult'. This, we are of the view, was done to disguise the nature of the funds as it is viewed to be payment for the shooting."
The accused enter court in the following order:
