"GOOD night, Kiernan"

These were the words of DJ Zinhle, who shared how grateful she was to have met Kiernan "AKA" Forbes.

The house DJ and businesswoman, whose real name is Zinhle Jiyane, thanked AKA for the love and support he had given her. The 39-year-old said her then-boyfriend was everything to her and their daughter Kairo.

She took to Instagram on Monday, 20 February, and wrote: “Kiernan, I am so sorry that you have been robbed of your time with your daughter, with @nadianakai, Steffan, your mom @lynnforbesza, dad, and all of us. I would give anything for Kairo to have more time with you, Kiernan. The thought of her asking questions breaks me. What do I do when she misses and needs you?”


She wished for AKA to look after them and give them the strength to do well for his daughter.

"Please watch over her and plead with The Almighty to guide Bongani @murdahbongz and I as we raise our daughter," she wrote. 

DJ Zinhle said the last time she saw the Congratulate hitmaker, he told her he was happy for them. The musician said they even co-parented well together.

“We quickly learnt that our differences would not be a burden for our daughter, our past mistakes could not deprive our daughter of a happy childhood with love from both mom and dad. I am so glad we figured it out. It’s as if we knew you would not be around long enough. Thank you for loving her the way you did,” she said.

The musician said they would continue to do what’s best for their daughter.

“Good night, Kiernan. You told me God is in control, I will hold on to these words as we piece together the pieces of our shattered hearts. We will comfort and love Nadia. She is family now. God bless you,” she said.
