It seems Tony Forbes might have a grudge against Bheki Cele after he gave him the cold shoulder and failed to acknowledge him.

Tony Forbes shrugs off Bheki Cele

Over two years since Kiernan "AKA" Forbes was assassinated outside of a Durban restaurant, his fans and family are yet to find closure or answers to his brutal demise.

His dad, Tony Forbes, had been actively attending court proceedings since day one to find out what led to his son's untimely death, and some of his appearances were caught on camera.

In a video posted by Twitter (X) user Siyamasha, Uncle Tony can be seen making his way into the courtroom before spotting a vacant seat.

Next to the open seat was KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, who was seated beside former Minister of Police, Bheki Cele, and Forbes is seen skipping past Cele to offer Mkhwanazi a handshake.

What makes the video even more awkward is Cele extending his hand towards Forbes for a handshake, only for him to walk past him as though he weren't there.

He later sits next to Mkhwanazi, offering him a warm smile and proceeding to chat with him.

However, an alternative video was shared by newslivesa from a different and unedited point of view that showed Forbes greeting Bheki Cele.

The video surfaces amid the explosive allegations made by the Police Commissioner, in which he pinned several crimes against some of his colleagues and higher-ups.

"Not Tony passing Cele like he doesn’t exist."

Meanwhile, others speculated on why he might have done it and recalled AKA's lyrics from Diary (Anxiety), where he addressed his late fiancée Anele Tembe's death and their tumultuous relationship.

In the song, the rapper spoke about not being offered an opportunity to speak at Neli's funeral; however, Bheki Cele got to say a few words when "he wasn't even on the program." Fans believe what Uncle Tony did was an act of loyalty towards his son.
