A video of the heart-wrenching moment slain South African rapper, AKA’s daughter, Kairo Owethu, broke down in tears at his memorial service has been shared online.
The service was held in his honour at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg on Friday evening, February 17, with Mzanzi’s singers, actors, politicians, and other notable persons in attendance.

It would be recalled that AKA, real name Kiernan Jarryd Forbes, was shot dead by a yet-to-be identified gunman outside a restaurant in Durban, South Africa, at age 35.
His former manager, Tebello, also known as ‘Tibz’ Motsoane, was also shot and killed on the same day. They will both be buried today, February 18.
