Friends of Akhumzi Jezile, who passed away in an accident a few weeks ago, spent Mother’s Day with the late star's mother.
Taking to Twitter, one of Akhumzi’s friends MaBlerh shared this touching video, with the caption: "We had to make sure that her first Mother's Day without him is extra special. An afternoon filled with laughter, love and shade. In true @akhumzij style. #RIPAkhumzi".

Tweeps commended the group for making the day special for the grieving mom.
Dear @MaBlerh the measure of true friendship is found during times least respected- in times when gaps are filled with presence. Thank you for this. We are proud of all of you. Akhumzi didn't have friends in you all, he had brothers and sisters. You have my outmost respect.
