DJ Citi Lyts’ partner, Charamaine said that he was too trusting and it was his trust in people that led to his untimely passing.
“His humbleness would sometimes fool you. He was crazy about his dad, and when it comes to his son, he was even worse. He was loyal and a very trusting friend and I feel like his trust is what led him here today. It hurts, it really hurts, God knows it really hurts,” said Charmaine as quoted by SowetanLive.
The family’s spokesperson, Peter Zondo, lamented how seeing Sandile lying in a pool of blood affected them as a family.
He said the scene was too gruesome for them as they couldn’t eat nor sleep after they struggled to clean his blood on the crime scene.

DJ Citi Lyts is outlived by his parents and partner, Charmaine, together with their son.
He was the young brother of the late Hip Hop rapper Linda “Prokid” Mkhize.
