Friends, family and fans of slain rapper Kiernan “AKA” Forbes were spotted arriving at his home in Bryanston, Johannesburg, on Monday afternoon.
A visibly emotional fan, Awande Zwane, placed a single rose outside the gate before handing a card of condolence to a family representative.
“It’s painful. AKA was a groundbreaker for a lot of us young people. He was tenacious and focused,” she said. Zwane thanked the Forbes family for sharing their son with South Africans. “I got so excited when I found out he was releasing music again. He meant a lot to us as a country, but the Megacy [AKA’s fan base] goes on and his music will live forever.”
