Family and friends took to the podium to share their tributes to the late Amapiano artist.

According to TshisaLive, Killer Kau’s uncle Remember Khumalo revealed that car accidents also claimed the lives of Killer Kau’s mother and brother.

“What hurts me the most is how Sakhile's mother passed away. It was terrible. It happened again when his brother died in an accident. I thought they would try to break the cycle so it doesn't happen again in the family. Today, we are seeing it again. Why it keeps happening in the family, I don't know.”
