This isn’t the first time that Minnie has paid tribute to her brother on social media. After his passing in 2019, Minnie took to Twitter to post a video to her Twitter page.
“I will love you forever K.”
“Words cannot justify how blessed my family is with amazing people who supported us with everything they could. People never left our side for 23 days and continue to be there for us. We could not have done this without you ALL. We love you so much,” she said.

In 2021, two years after Khosini’s death, Minnie expressed that that day she figuratively died.
“My Captain. The day you took your last flight is the day I died too. We all know you were born to fly Captain K we just didn’t know it was in the Kingdom of Heaven. We miss you more than anyone can imagine and everyday I wish it was me instead of you,” The South African reported.
