The South Africa (SA) Presidency has rejected a proposal from the Guanteng Premier Panyaza Lusuif’s office to give the country’s rapper, Kiernan Jarryd Forbes, known professionally as AKA, a state funeral.
According to the report, Guanteng Premier Panyaza Lusuif’s office requested President Cyril Ramaphosa to hold a provincial State Funeral in honor of the late rapper Kiernan AKA Forbes by draping his coffin with the South African flag and flying the flag at half-mast.
“We felt that a person of this international stature… there must be some form of honour and we want to clarify that it was not a financial contribution, but it was an honour of draping the coffin, ensuring the flag flies at half-mast, and ensuring that it [is] a befitting funeral.”
“We will also provide security support for the family and ensure that the family feels our support and our comfort.”
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that the rapper was born and raised in Cape Town,
He gained recognition after releasing his single “Victory Lap” from his debut studio album, Altar Ego (2010).
AKA continued his success by releasing studio albums which include Levels (2014), Touch My Blood (2018), Bhovamania (2020), and the collaborative album with Anatii, titled Be Careful What You Wish For (2017).
