15 January 2020 would have marked Akhumzi Jezile's 31st birthday and his friends did not disappoint in paying moving tributes to the fallen Tv star.
His friends, dubbed the “Society’ group" gathered to celebrate Akhumzi’s 31st birthday in a bittersweet moment.

The larger-than-life star was hailed for the impact he made in many lives as his legacy still lives on.
Akhumzi, along with friends Siyasanga Kobese, Thobani Mseleni and two others died in a horrific head-on collision after they were reportedly travelling to a family event in the Eastern Cape. The crash occurred outside Queenstown after a truck that was carrying a car had lost control and swerved into Akhumzi and his passengers
News of his death sent shockwaves across the country and he has since been celebrated and hailed for his contribution to the media fraternity. Last week, the Akhumzi Jezilefoundation embarked on a new campaign to assist students in obtaining valid driver's licenses this year.
The foundation launched the "Get Your License" campaign which is set to fund learners’ licenses as well as driver’s licenses for pupils who are currently in grade 11.
