AKA's father Tony Forbes addressed this at a press conference in Johannesburg on Tuesday afternoon.
"We do not condone what is being said about his friends and those making dangerous statements and we appeal for them to cease from doing so.
"We are aware of the various statements that are being made in the media, most importantly the NPA's declaration which we have been aware of since June last year. Our focus right now is to celebrate him and give him a dignified send off with as little distraction as possible."
