The atmosphere was heavenly-like, with white flowers filling the venue and Riky’s black and white pictures beautifully placed around the venue.
According to TshisaLIVE Legend Barbershop group’s Waterfall Corner branch also relaunched its store on the rapper’s birthday and offered 35 complimentary haircuts in exchange for winter supplies to donate to an orphanage.
Riky was a franchise owner of the store.
“This means a lot to our family because the barbershop was one of Riky’s proudest achievements. Reopening on his birthday made it more special because it was our way of honouring him. It was important for us because Riky was always about giving back. It is a way of us carrying forward his memory,” the report quoted Riky’s wife, Bianca.
