The move not only comes at a good time as restrictions on the sale of alcohol in South Africa have been lifted.
The move by AKA to return to his Cruz Vodka duties also signals that the rapper is trying to move forward with his life after Anele’s passing. AKA’s partnership with Cruz Vodka is one of his proudest deals, the collaboration has seen the rapper launch his own flavours -watermelon and banana under the vodka brand.
In a statement released by AKA‘s management team T Effect in May, the rapper announced that he would be temporarily stepping back from his duties with Cruz Vodka. “Having had time to reflect on the events of the past few days, I have engaged with my business partners, and I feel it best that I temporarily step back from my duties with Cruz Vodka as I need this time to focus on the way forward, and deal with my personal matter.”
“I have done this for the sake of Anele’s memory which will forever be entrenched in my heart, our families and my fans. I am grateful to my business partners at Cruz Vodka for all their support and understanding of this decision to give me time, Daily I wake up to the reality that the person I was building a future with is no more, the pain is unbearable, with God’s grace I will remain strong and pick up the pieces,” read an excerpt from his statement.
