It hits more, because I had the opportunity to meet/work with him for the first time just THREE days ago, would have never thought it’d also be my last. Such a great spirit to be around.
Rest in Peace! ❤️ #RestInPeace #killerkau pic.twitter.com/86VCBM52NU— thato sikwane (@SikwaneThato) August 9, 2021
