Pinky said the late had treated them with respect since childhood.
"I saw how he loved my mum with great respect. When we were filming the reality show with him, we were grateful that we could finally talk to each other and address issues, but after the show we held no grudges," she said.
Pinky added that they were looking forward to more days with him, but God had decided otherwise.
"He loved my mum a lot, and I pray she recovers from this loss. She needs to hold on to the good memories she had with Tatu Jafta," she said.
Jafta was part of the cast of the reality show The Bala Family on the Mzansi Magic channel.
