South African popular late rappers AKA and Riky Rick weren't only the ones who formed a friendship, but also their mothers, Lynn Forbes and Louisa Zondo. The slain rapper's mom posted a picture of their recent meetup on social media.
The philanthropist, who turned 57 in July 2025, posted about how she had met Riky Rick's mother back in 2018 when they went to climb up Mount Kilimanjaro.
"Connected with my dear friend @louisazondo this morning. We summited Kilimanjaro together in 2018, oblivious to the mountains we would have to climb as mothers," she wrote.
Forbes has also mentioned the pain they felt when they had lost their sons one year apart, and how they have been going strong together ever since.

She said:
"We each lost our son, a year apart, first Rikhado (Riky Rick) and then Kiernan, young kings and friends with powerful voices. We’re still climbing, together. Not always strong, but always resilient. Focused, steady, and committed to preserving their legacies."
AKA's mother also mentioned in the post that they had met on Thursday morning, 24 July 2025, for what looks like a coffee date.
