Zalman Orlianski died in hospital on September 16, a week after he sustained severe head injuries in an altercation over a parking area with Makhalemele at OR Tambo International Airport.
Orlianski was buried in Wespark Cemetery on Tuesday morning.
Video footage of the incident was handed over to the police, which lead to Makhalemele’s arrest on a charge of assault. The charge was later amended to attempted murder, and then to murder on Monday after Orlianski’s death.
He was also removed from the Uber app.
