The most emotional moments thorough this whole ordeal have been the selflessness, kindness & dignity that the family chose to remember Kiernan with. From Mr Tony Forbes, Glammy, Nadia & Zinhle to the kids Kairo & Thando (Pearl Thusi's daughter) AKA had a FAMILY ❤️🕊️ #AKAMemorial

"Please watch over her and plead with The Almighty to guide Bongani @murdahbongz and me as we raise our daughter." She added, "The last time I saw you, you told me how proud you are of us and how well we were co-parenting, we had come a long way, and even though it challenged a lot of people in how well we co-parented. It was never about society or us, it was always about our daughter and what was best for her.
"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."
