An emotional Lynn addressed the distraught young people who gathered outside her house with lit candles, saying:

“I hope we get the message out there that the youth must vote. We just want the youth to vote - like you saidb- no particular party but we must vote.”

Mzansi lauds AKA's humanitarian deeds

According to ZAlebs, AKA was passionate about Mzansi youth. Supa Mega jeopardised his career by supporting university students during the 2020 Fees Must Fall movement, which was heavily criticised. 

@Lightuntomypath said:

"This is the unity we need in this amazing country of ours. We are always at our strongest together."

@Polyvia shared:

"I’m glad someone spoke about what AKA did for us students during the Fees Must Fall student protests in 2018 and 2019. I have been talking about this since his passing because he was a superstar and a kind humanitarian too. Fly high King Mega. You have ran your race ❤️"

@Leendor maphanga posted:

"AKA wasn’t just a rapper. He meant a lot of things to the youth of South Africa."

@Susan Rice replied:

"You all don't forget that AKA stood up against xenophobia and spoke up louder against the injustice in Zimbabwe."

@Bathabile Masudi commented:

"His mom breaks my heart. Losing your child like that is just so painful."

@HILENI KULLA KAPEPO wrote:

"Thank you, ANC. That was indeed a very great gesture. So heartfelt."

@Aame International added:

"He was loved. He inspired a lot of young people."

AKA's family defends Don Design after Mzansi accused him of being involved in Supa Mega's "assassination"

In related news, Briefly News reported that AKA's family weighed in on the accusations against Supa Mega's DJ, Don Design. Peeps alleged that Don was to blame for the shooting because of the dodgy behaviour he displayed in the trending CCTV footage.

The Fela in Versace hitmaker left Mzansi and his family heartbroken after he and his former manager Tebello "Tibz" Motsoane were gunned down by unknown men on Durban's Florida Road. Since then, his supporters, known as the Megacy, have worked tirelessly to solve the "assassination" case.

According to ZAlebs, the Forbes' family lawyer, Rudolph Baloyi, appeared on Newzroom Afrika to discuss the murder case, and the subject of Don Design being named as a suspect by Mzansi people was brought up. Baloyi ruled out the speculations, saying Don would never betray AKA as they were like brothers.
