Fresh revealed that the bitter-sweet day was filled with laughter, reminiscing and lots of cheesecake.

"Happy Heavenly Birthday, Thabiso. We had cheesecake at your daily prayer spot by the dam today — your favourite. Hope you didn’t mind us finishing the whole thing without you (again). We laughed, we reminisced … and as always, Aunt Ann had epic stories to share about your childhood escapades. Heaven’s lucky to have you — just don’t charm the angels too much! Happy heavenly birthday, my friend. Keep watching over us," he penned.

Why DJ Fresh did not cancel bookings

In a previous report from Briefly News, after Thabiso Sikwane's death, DJ Fresh announced that he wouldn't be cancelling any of his scheduled gigs

DJ Fresh shared that his elder son told him to honour their mother in all of his gigs as this is what she would've wanted, "Just like she did when Wandy, our 15-year-old, was born. Wandy arrived a tad early, and I had booked in Durban. I remember being busy trying to cancel that booking, and in between that delivery, she [Thabiso] said to me that when this baby pops today, you will honour your bookings."
