DJ and businesswoman Zinhle ‘DJ Zinhle’ Jiyane is not ready to face Durban, KwaZulu-Natal anytime soon. She said she is “not ready for Durban”.
“I cannot lie to you guys, I’m not ready for Durban. Emotionally, I’m not ready at all. I get a little anxious thinking about being in Durban. It’s going to be a while before I can be in Durban,” she said.
“I’m going through the most. Forget about seeing me in Durban. It’s not even that I am mad at Durban. It’s just hard. It’s only been three months since Kiernan died, so maybe with time. But I’m hoping I never change my mind.”
Rapper Kiernan ‘AKA’ Forbes was murdered outside a restaurant in Durban on February 10th 2023. The ‘Umlilo’ hitmaker share a child, Kairo Forbes with the late rapper.
DJ Zinhle who is mourning the death of her child’s father pulled out of Fact Durban Rock event as she says she’s not ready to face the city that took the life of her baby daddy.
Zinhle went on share that she is anxious that father’s day is approaching and she doesn’t know what she’ll say to her first born daughter.
“What am I going to say to Kairo on Father’s Day?”
It is no secret that AKA and his seven-year-old daughter Kairo shared a special bond, every father’s day the late rapper would share videos of himself and Kairo dancing and singing sharing lots of love for one another.
AKA’s mom Lynn Forbes also shared how she is not ready to visit the city that took his son away from her. In an interview with East Coast Radio, she said, “I don’t believe I would never go back to Durban again. I think it’s natural at the moment. I have no desire to go to Durban at the moment. It’s not about Durban, but I think getting on a plane to Durban will just open up so much.
She went to clarify that she does not hate the city and that the rapper loved Durban.
“So it’s not Durban as a place, it’s not Durban as people. I think Kiernan loved Durban, his fan base is there, and the Megacy is alive in Durban.
“One of the yearnings I have is to stand in the spot where he died, and just be there. I know his soul is not there any more and his body is not there any more, but that is the last place where he was alive.”
