‘OUR SON WAS LOVED’: STATEMENT FROM THE LATE CHEFS FAMILY

TimesLIVE reported that the family was grateful for the support they had received since the news broke and asked to be lifted up in prayers.

They were quoted as saying,

“To us, Tebello was a son, grandson, phew, cousin and friend. To many, he was Tibz Wa Bantwana, Chief of Cool, Summer Time Cool Creator, K1 K9, and the many other names of affection. Our son was loved, and he gave love in return. As we come to terms with the devastating truth that our only son is no longer with us, we appeal for compassion, space and time to congregate as a family to decide on the coming days.”
