On Sunday, the group gathered to celebrate the lives of the rapper and his close associate at the site where the pair were shot and declared dead on the scene on Friday night.
DURBAN – Fans of Kiernan ‘AKA’ Forbes braved the rain in Durban to pay their last respects to the rapper and his late associate and celebrity chef, Tebello ‘Tibz’ Motsoane.
Fans, friends, and artists gathered at a candlelight prayer session on Sunday night at the place where the pair died.
Fans celebrated both victims while singing and dancing to AKA’s music.
A fan of AKA said that the rapper’s music was a soundtrack to her and her children’s lives.
“Every time I listen to AKA’s music, I’ll always love and dance. I have kids who listened to his music, and now hearing that he is gone, and we won’t be able to have new music or performances from AKA is sad and devastating.”
The funeral arrangements were yet to be communicated.
The pair were shot and killed outside a Florida Road restaurant in Durban on Friday night.
They were both declared dead at the scene.
Police were searching for two suspects who were believed to have approached both AKA and Tibz from across the road, before shooting them at close range and fleeing the scene on foot.
AKA was just hours away from making an appearance at a popular nightclub as part of his birthday celebration tour.
