On Friday night, Tibz and his best friend AKA, whose real name was Kiernan Forbes, were both shot and killed outside the Wish restaurant on Florida Road in Durban.

On his Instagram timeline, the veteran DJ and businessman called Tibz by some of the many nicknames he had.

“Who was @tebello.mosoane?” Entrepreneur and foodie co-founder of @augoldvodka, @showlove.co.za, and @headhonchosa Here is an interview we did in 2016 that you might remember. “In his own words,” he wrote as a caption.

The late Tebello talked about brand strategy and how he ran the late rapper AKA’s business.

“Before I was his manager, I was a fan.” It’s important to be real, believe in yourself, and believe in the product. I can’t tell you about suits if I’m not wearing one. “I can’t tell you about sneakers if I don’t wear them,” he said.

On Saturday, Tibz’s family said in a statement that he had died and that they were waiting for more information from Durban police. They were thankful for the help they had received.

“Tebello was like a son, a brother, a grandson, a nephew, a cousin, and a friend to us. Many people called him affectionate names like Tibz Wa Bantwana, Chief of Cool, Summer Time Cool Creator, K1 K9, and many others.

Our son was loved, and he returned that love. As we try to come to terms with the terrible fact that our only son is no longer with us, we ask for your kindness, space, and time so that we can get together as a family and talk about what to do next.

“We thank you for all the love and help you’ve given us, and we ask that you continue to pray for us before the Lord.”
