On Monday, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) said it had informed Tembe's family in June 2020 of its decision not to prosecute in her death. His coffin would have been draped in the South African flag, and a government official would have attended the funeral service. Mabanga said Motsoane loved the rapper and often referred to him as his "kid". If there was one flight I hope he missed, it was the last one to Durban. In that quest for answers, rumours and wild speculation have often been thrown around without any evidence. If there was something he ghosted me on, I wish it was that one," he said. That was an incredible experience, but it showed me the bond they had. However, President Cyril Ramaphosa's office declined the request. Motsoane was shot in the chest as two gunmen fired several bullets at the musician. It showed me the love they had. He reflected on Motsoane's tendency to "ghost" him. We had the most incredible time.
