Zandie shared a screenshot of DA L.E.S’s tweet in which he claimed Don was unrelated to the passing of AKA.

“I feel for [you] Don Design wabantu even [though] I don’t know [you]. I know what [you] going through but [you] must know that South Africa has smart people but it’s dominated by a lot of fools with data and smartphones and if [you] are weak your life will be turned upside down by these clueless fools.

Kelly Khumalo and her sister, Zandie Khumalo Gumede are still facing backlash over the unsolved shooting and killing of Senzo Meyiwa.

The Forbes family however addressed the media on Tuesday, in Johannesburg, with AKA’s father – Tony Fobes urging people to not engage in social media chatter about what happened, particularly when police are still investigating.
