Gauteng premier Panyaza Lesufi has announced that AKA will not be getting a state-assisted funeral.
Government did not succeed in getting the president to declare a state official funeral for slain rapper AKA. They will continue to support the family.
Fans of the late Kiernan ‘AKA’ Forbes received some answers about the legend of Sim Dope, a song he released in honour of his friend.
It was a story many didnt believe, as people didnt think Sim Dope was a real person.

Many friends and family members filled up Sandton Convention Centre to remember the rapper who was shot and killed in Durban last week with his friend Tebello ‘Tibz’ Motsoane.
Simphiwe Gumede known as Sim Dope’s tribute had guests on their feet.
The childhood friends had known each other since the age of 11. Sim said AKA made him comfortable to be himself.
AKA made a song honouring his Sim Dope over four years ago and during his memorial, Sim paid tribute to his childhood friend.
Retelling the story of his name, Sim said AKA thought this was big achievement he made it into the rugby team and gave a suggestion for his nickname.
“Now that you are a ‘boet’ you can’t be going on a Saturday and be known as Simphiwe, I mean that’s not dangerous,” AKA told him.
The friend’s father is businessman Robert Gumede.
Sim had some notoriety after his dad brought US hip-hop star Rick Ross for his birthday.
Robert Gumede is reportedly a very wealthy man and is the founder of the IT firm Gijima Technologies. The company has over 12 000 employees and he serves on multiple boards, advisory and councils such as the South African Chamber of Commerce to the USA Chair.
