AKA’s mother doubts they’ll ever know who ordered hit on her son

Lynn said that she is not eagerly waiting for answers because she already knows how the Company hitmaker died, further saying she doubts they’ll ever know who the mastermind is.

“I am not waiting for answers because it will consume me. I am trying to continue and not look for closure because seeing my son die in that video, and seeing what happened to him, was enough closure for me.


 

“I still remain confident, but it’s not something I wait for. I do think that there will be an arrest on who pulled the trigger, but I am not confident that we will ever know who paid for the bullet,” Lynn said.

She also said that information they’ve received as a family about the investigation is the same information the police has been giving to the public.

“To hear information about your son’s murder and not knowing what to make sense of it and the confusion around it – so I do feel like it’s a very tough thing to deal with for me. I guess over time I have learnt that I need to find my way through the toughest times; you need to have resilience. I’m not saying that’s okay. But the information that’s out there is the information I have. I have nothing else.”

LATEST POLICE UPDATE ON MURDERS
During a police briefing on Tuesday, Police Minister Bheki was questioned about the latest updates on AKA and Tibz’s murder investigation, to which he said “the cars have been found, people have been identified and the firearm used has been found.”

“They are chasing these people and are not far from dealing the final blow to this case,” said Cele.

“This has taken some time for the family, friends and the nation but he was a well-known figure, AKA. But we request that police be given space to resist the push that might end in breaking their case even before they achieve the proper investigation. But it is continuing.”

Earlier this month, KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) Police Commissioner, Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, gave a similar update, adding that they have “downloaded more than 25 cell phones.”

“It’s all from people of interest that might contain information. Cell phones of people who might have been in the area or might have communicated with the deceased. Or any other people associated with the deceased,” Mkhwanazi said.

Nadia Nakai spoke about grieving AKA in a new interview

She continued: “I feel like guys right now are not about chivalry. They’re not about being the man in the relationship. They are not about leading their household. They are not about that stuff anymore”While Nadia has seemingly sworn off love, she did reveal her desire to have children.

She said: “I just don’t see how. I would love to have my own family set up. I’m alone a lot of the time. When I’m at home, I’m by myself. I live alone. It’s just me and my dog. And, if I am not working, I am at home. So, it’s, like, I would love to come home to, like, a situation. You know? But I don’t see that happening.”

‘NO BIGGER PAIN THAN LOSING YOU’
In an Instagram post just days after his death, Nadia Nakai shared her grief for AKA.

The author and activist who battled with cancer for 11 years planned her funeral and reportedly jotted down a number of people that she didn’t want to attend her funeral, reports Zimoja.

The publication adds that Zoleka also barred Leeroy Andie Cana (the father of her last born Zingce) from her service as well as Zukiswa Madikizela, Nsundu Madikizela, and Buyelekhaya Dalindyebo at her funeral.

TshisaLIVE reports that a prayer session for the author was held at the Mandela family home in Soweto on Wednesday, 27 September from 6pm.

The funeral service of the activist took place at Bryanston Methodist Church on Friday, 29 September.@GumbuTman: “Zoleka Mandela and Mandla Mandela, both family and cousins, had their own unique relationship dynamics. Zoleka’s funeral wishes are a reminder that family matters can be complex. Let’s respect her choice and send our condolences during this difficult time

@Mpume_Luv: “Mandla Mandela being in attendance knowing very well that he did to Zoleka is extremely disrespectful.”

@LucyPearl620: “Respect has never been one of his virtues.”

@Kopo_K: “Heavy on that whose going to stop me.”

@Melanin_Mmaps: “Mandla Mandela purposefully choosing to not honour the late Zoleka Mandela’s wishes and attend her funeral irrespective of the fact that she did not give him consent to be there is disrespectful. And it makes us believe her more, even in death he won’t respect her wishes.”
