Flabba’s memorial service today
Family and friends of slain hip hop artist, Nkululeko Flabba Habedi, will gather on Wednesday at the Bassline, Newton in Johannesburg to attend the rapper’s memorial service.
Nkululeko ‘Flabba’ Habedi was allegedly stabbed once in the chest by his girlfriend at his Alexandra home. His court case is currently underway.
Flabba was stabbed to death allegedly by his girlfriend identified as Sindisiwe Precious Manqele in the early hours of Monday morning. On Tuesday, Manqele appeared in the Alexandra Magistrates’ Court where Regional Court courtroom was packed to capacity ahead of her appearance.
Manqele’s case was postponed to March 16. In her appearance, she showed the court bruises and wounds she claimed she sustained during her argument with Flabba.
An angry crowed followed Manqele’s sister to the car as she was leaving court shouting “No bail, no bail”. Manqele’s sister accidently hit a car behind her as she was trying to reverse.

“There is no such self-defence as she claims, she is rubbish. Nkululeko was not a fighting type, this girl is just silly. If she ever comes out or gets a bail, we will take the law into our own hands. We know her home and we know where she lived,” said fuming fan Angie Khoza.
Flabba’s younger brother, Tshepang Habedi, said on Monday he was woken up by his younger brother around 02:00am telling him Flabba had been stabbed.
The memorial service is scheduled from 12:00-14:00.
