A night vigil was held in honour of rapper AKA and his close friend, Tebello 'Tibz' Motsoane, in Durban on Sunday evening. The local religious community issued a call on the government to ensure efficient gun control.
Philani Kweyama, who is also an event organiser and a DJ popularly known as Benny Maverick, was among the friends with whom AKA spent his final day. He told the group of mourners that he had known AKA for over 12 years and had worked with him on various events. According to Kweyama, AKA had always loved Durban and was planning to hold a concert at the Durban International Convention Centre."He told me that he wanted to revive the local hip hop genre because it was slowly being replaced by Amapiano," said Kweyama, who raised concerns about the impact of the brutal killing on local businesses and called on witnesses to work with law enforcement agencies to find the assailants.
