South African music sensation DJ Zinhle is celebrating a special milestone—her daughter Kairo Forbes’ 10th birthday. On July 8, the proud mother took to social media to honour her daughter with a deeply moving tribute, reflecting on a decade of love, growth, and unforgettable memories.
In her heartfelt post, DJ Zinhle expressed immense gratitude for the gift of motherhood, saying, “Ten years of wondering how I got so lucky to be your mom.” She went on to describe Kairo as a blessing beyond measure, admitting that at times she feels unworthy of such a beautiful soul. “I’ve never truly felt deserving of such a beautiful gift – but that’s the thing about God’s favour… it can’t be explained,” she wrote.
Kairo Forbes is the daughter of DJ Zinhle and the late rapper Kiernan “AKA” Forbes, whose tragic passing continues to leave a void in the hearts of his family and fans alike. His absence was poignantly acknowledged in Zinhle’s message. She revealed that she and her husband, Bongani Mohosana, known as Mörda, often talk about how much they wish AKA were still alive to witness their daughter grow.
“Bongani and I wish every day that your dad was still here,” Zinhle shared. “But we promise to do everything we can to fill your world with love, joy, and the kind of memories he would’ve been proud of.” Her words touched many, highlighting the enduring pain of loss and the strength of a mother’s commitment to her child.
Alongside birthday wishes, DJ Zinhle offered a heartfelt prayer for Kairo’s future. She wrote, “I pray especially for your joy – may He turn every pain into purpose, and every tear into laughter.” The emotional message underscored Zinhle’s desire to see her daughter not only happy but also resilient in the face of life’s challenges.
Concluding her post, Zinhle called Kairo her “greatest blessing” and described her as “the kindest soul and the best sister ever.” Her tribute captured the essence of a devoted mother who continues to honour the memory of her late partner while nurturing a joyful life for their daughter.
The touching post quickly garnered love and support from fans and celebrities alike, who joined in celebrating Kairo’s milestone birthday. Many praised DJ Zinhle for her vulnerability, strength, and unwavering love for her child.
In the backdrop of DJ Zinhle’s message, the memory of AKA remains ever-present. The tribute not only celebrated Kairo’s life but also served as a reminder of the rapper’s lasting legacy through his daughter.
As Kairo enters her teenage years, it’s clear she does so surrounded by love, strength, and a family committed to honouring both her future and her father’s memory. DJ Zinhle’s tribute was more than a birthday message—it was a powerful reflection on parenthood, grief, and unshakable love.
