The funeral and memorial service of Kiernan ‘AKA‘ Forbes will take place later this week, the rapper’s family confirmed in a statement released on Tuesday.
When is AKA funeral? – Here are the latest updates
The Prada rapper will be laid to rest in a private ceremony reserved for family, close friends and his peers, on Saturday, 18 February 2023.
His former manager and lifelong friend, Tebello ‘Tibz’ Motsoane will be buried on the same day. Both funerals will not be open to the public.
“We as the Forbes family would like to acknowledge the outpouring of love we have received over the past few days. Kiernan wasn’t just loved by us as a family, but by the nation, as we’ve seen from loved ones, friends, industry colleagues, media tributes and the Megacy,” the family wrote.
How to watch Kiernan Forbes memorial service live
The Forbes family will celebrate the life of AKA at a memorial service set to be held at the Sandton Convention Centre on Friday, 17 February 2023, exactly a week after he was gunned down in cold blood, in what many believe may have been a coordinated hit.
While the AKA memorial service will be open to the public, the Forbes family warned that limited tickets will be made available on Webtickets.
“It is our wish to celebrate the life of Kiernan with those he touched and impacted through his gift of music. His memorial will therefore be open to the public as well as streamed online.
