EWN has reliably learnt that the seven men accused in the high-profile murder of rapper aka and his friend, businessman Tibz, have been moved from Westville prison.

They were transferred to the high-maximum security eBongweni prison in Kokstad at the behest of the state in the matter.

The prison is known for its high-tech and advanced security features and also houses highly dangerous inmates and convicted criminals.

Meanwhile, two of the accused, Siyabonga and Malusi Ndimande, have appeared in camera (a closed court process typically used in sensitive matters).
