The statement additionally highlighted AKA‘s affection for South Africa and his strong sense of patriotism, showcasing his involvement in solidarity movements aimed at improving the prospects for young people in Mzansi and Africa as a whole.
“Kiernan Jarryd Forbes is an inspiration to many people. His music gives pleasure to many and his own journey as a musician has inspired up and coming artists to be bold, creative, work hard and use music to tell their stories. Kiernan truly loved his country and the African continent.
“He demonstrated his South African patriotism with his signature of the flag draped over his microphone or around his shoulders. He passionately supported the Fees Must Fall movement, advocating for fees for all. Out of the public eye, Kiernan selflessly supported those in need of financial and other assistance. His impact on the world will never be forgotten.”
