The first CCTV clip shocked the nation.
The second one tells an even darker story.

Newly revealed footage from a different camera angle on Durban’s Florida Road has provided a chilling new perspective on the fatal shooting of South African rap icon Kiernan “AKA” Forbes and his close friend Tebello “Tibz” Motsoane. While the original video captured the brutal moment the shots were fired, this second angle exposes what happened just before — and it has left viewers shaken.

In the footage, the killer is no longer a blur appearing out of nowhere.

He is already there.

The camera tracks the suspect’s movement as he approaches AKA and his group of friends on Friday night. There is no rush at first, no visible panic. The man walks with purpose, cutting through the crowd with a calm that feels almost unreal given what is about to happen.

What’s most disturbing is how ordinary everything looks.

AKA and Tibz are relaxed, standing outside a popular restaurant, chatting and laughing with friends. There are no raised voices. No arguments. No signs of danger. The rapper appears completely unaware that someone is closing in on him step by step.

The second angle reveals the killer’s path clearly — how he positions himself, how he times his approach, and how close he gets before anyone realizes what’s happening. Investigators believe this footage strengthens the case that the attack was not spontaneous, but planned and deliberate.

According to sources familiar with the investigation, the suspect appears to briefly slow down, almost assessing the situation, before committing to the final approach. It’s a detail that has haunted viewers online — the idea that there was a moment, however brief, where the outcome might have changed.

But it didn’t.

Within seconds, the scene descends into chaos. Gunfire erupts. AKA collapses. Tibz is struck as well. Screams fill the street as people scatter in shock, some ducking for cover, others frozen in disbelief.

The second angle captures the aftermath too — the confusion, the terror, the realization spreading across faces that something irreversible has just occurred.

For investigators, this footage is critical. It provides clearer insight into how the suspects moved, how they coordinated, and how the escape unfolded. Police have previously stated that multiple individuals were involved, with one shooter and accomplices believed to have assisted before and after the attack.

The calm, methodical approach seen in the video has only intensified public anger and heartbreak.

Fans across South Africa and beyond have reacted with disbelief, describing the footage as “impossible to watch” and “deeply unsettling.” Many have noted how the second angle strips away any illusion that the shooting was sudden or unavoidable — instead revealing a sequence of decisions that led directly to two deaths.

Florida Road, once a symbol of nightlife and celebration, has become a place of mourning. Flowers, candles, and handwritten notes continue to appear where AKA and Tibz fell, turning the pavement into a living memorial.

AKA’s death marked a devastating loss for South African music. A trailblazer, hitmaker, and cultural force, he helped bring local hip-hop to global audiences while shaping a generation of artists. Tibz, a respected entrepreneur and close friend, was a constant presence by his side.

Now, the second CCTV angle has added another layer of pain — but also clarity.

It shows that this was not just a tragic moment caught on camera. It was a sequence of movements, choices, and seconds that ended two lives and forever changed South African pop culture.

As the investigation continues and justice is pursued, one thing is certain: the images from Florida Road will not fade easily.

Not the smile.
Not the walk.
And not the moment when everything went wrong.
