“I cannot lie to you guys, I’m not ready for Durban. Emotionally, I’m not ready at all. I get a little anxious thinking about being in Durban. It’s going to be a while before I can be in Durban,” she said.

“I’m going through the most. Forget about seeing me in Durban. It’s not even that I am mad at Durban. It’s just hard. It’s only been three months since Kiernan died, so maybe with time. But I’m hoping I never change my mind.”

She said she was also a little anxious about Father’s Day next month.

“What am I going to say to Kairo on Father’s Day?”AKA’s mother Lynn Forbes has also shared how she needs time before visiting Durban and the spot where her son took his last breath.

During her interview on Carol Ofori’s show on East Coast Radio, she said: “I don’t believe I would never go back to Durban again. I think it’s natural at the moment. I have no desire to go to Durban at the moment. It’s not about Durban, but I think getting on a plane to Durban will just open up so much.

“So it’s not Durban as a place, it’s not Durban as people. I think Kiernan loved Durban, his fan base is there, and the Megacy is alive in Durban.

“One of the yearnings I have is to stand in the spot where he died, and just be there. I know his soul is not there any more and his body is not there anymore, but that is the last place where he was alive.”

Sjava said it is a gift for them. “It also allows us to represent where we come from, not only the place but the culture. It’s a collaboration and I believe in working together,” he said.“I can’t say we worked on the documentary. We just recorded some elements of my normal life and the work we do.”

Sjava said this is something that they’ve been doing and will continue doing so that their story is documented. He said they wanted to share it with people.

“Shout out to Luthando ‘Sgubz’ Sigubudu who directed the doccie and put together the creative vision. People should go and watch it on YouTube. They can expect a short but insightful look into my life,” he said.

Uzalo actor Othembele Nomgca received his postgraduate qualification from the Durban University of Technology. The actor received his postgraduate diploma in drama and production studies.

Othembele is elated about his latest achievement as the Covid-19 pandemic prevented him from physically graduating the first time around.

Speaking about his academics, he said: “It has been a tough journey, from obtaining my first qualification, a diploma in drama and production studies.”

“When I joined DUT, I was still a young man coming from the rural areas to the big city. It was a big challenge, trying to discipline myself. I used to constantly remind myself what I wanted in life.
“When I got what I wanted initially, I didn’t stop there, I kept trying to get even more.” Othembele is doing all in his capacity to become a professional.

“For me, it isn’t just a hobby, it’s a career. This is my life, this is what puts food on my table. I felt like I should do the right thing and further, my studies because no one can be a professional without acquiring the necessary education for it.
