WATCH | ProKid will be laid to rest today

Hundreds of mourners have gathered at the UJ Soweto Campus on Sunday morning to bid farewell to hip-hop veteran ProKid.

The rapper will be laid to rest at Heroes Acre at Westpark Cemetery after the service.

The stage at the campus auditorium has been beautifully adorned in green and yellow‚ with white flowers and gigantic pictures of ProKid.
