The 41-year-old was with Kiernan ‘AKA‘ Forbes, whom he managed early in his career, and friends in Durban when he was fatally struck outside Wish, a restaurant situated on Florida Road, on the evening of Friday, 10 February 2023.
Leaked CCTV footage of the double murder showed two armed gunmen who, by the looks of it, may have coordinated the attack, with preliminary findings suggesting that, perhaps, AKA may have been the primary target, and Tibz was the one friend in the group who unfortunately got caught in the crossfire.
In a statement, Motsoane’s family described the entrepreneur as “a son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend [who] was loved and he gave love in return.”
“As we come to terms with the devastating truth that our only son is no longer with us we appeal for your compassion, space and time to congregate as a family to decide on the upcoming days,” the family noted.
On Tuesday, Tibz’s family confirmed the details of his funeral and memorial service.
While the burial will most certainly be a private ceremony open to family and close friends, Tibz’s life will be celebrated at a memorial service taking place on Thursday, 16 February 2023 at Sacred Heart College in Observatory, Johannesburg.
“Close friends, family and selected media will gather for the special tribute which will be live-streamed,” the family confirmed.
