'I want you to go and rest' - family and friends bid farewell to Riky Rick
Family and friends paid their last respects to the late Rikhado “Riky Rick” Makhado on Tuesday.
Makhado (34) passed away in Johannesburg last week.
He is survived by his wife Bianca Naidoo and their two children.
Speaking at his private funeral service, Naidoo said Riky encouraged her to come out of her shell.
“As a partner he always encouraged me to come out of my shell and allow myself to step into the light and conquer my shyness. He wanted me to shine. He always wanted me to figure out what I wanted me to do for me. And to find that which could set my soul on fire. Little did he know that he was it."
