"After bravely performing her dad’s song in front of thousands of people, my 8-year-old broke down crying, saying she just misses her daddy & wishes he was here.

"I am so proud of her, but I wish she didn’t need to be so brave. I just wish she still had her dad."

Lynn defends Kairo amid backlash

Many people saw it was not necessary for a child to have to face so many people and perform her father's music.

But her grandmother, Lynn Forbes, came to everyone's defence and said Kairo decided for herself and nobody forced her.

"Kairo didn’t say, 'I WANT to perform at Joburg Day'. She said, 'I’m GOING TO perform at Joburg Day. I don’t want anyone to go on stage with me. I’m going to sing my daddy’s voice, by myself.' It sat well with her, and she cried. She is very proud of herself. No one forced her."
