In loving memory of AKA, fans have begun to bring back old Twitter (X) posts that are accurate in real time. The late rapper discussed a range of topics on his page, from sports and music to politics and societal issues, and one thing about the Supa Mega, he never minced words.

2. Braamfontein drive-by shooting

On Thursday, 29 February 2024, an unnamed student was caught in the crossfire of a drive-by shooting in Braamfontein, Johannesburg and lost his life along with two of the shooter's targets.

Mzansi brought back AKA's post from 10 March 2021 about an unknown shooting victim in Braamfontein, asking for more details and left Mzansi's jaws dropped:

"Can anyone share details of the person who was killed today in Braam? We keep referring to him as 'The guy' or 'That person,' any details yet?"

3. Springboks Rugby World Cup win

"Also, can we hand Bafana Bafana over to the people who are in charge of the Springboks? Just for a trial period, three years. I just wanna see something quickly."

4. The South African general elections

Ahead of the upcoming general elections on 29 May 2024, Mzansi resurfaced a five-year-old tweet by AKA encouraging his supporters and followers to vote:

"Doesn’t matter who you vote for, people literally died for this thing. So don't play NBA2K all day. Leave the crib, do the right thing, then come right back."
