Friends, family and people involved in the fight to legalise cannabis in South Africa paid their last respects to Julian Stobbs at his home near Lanseria today.

Pictures and mementos were left as a small tribute and there was a slow, constant flow of people from all races and creeds that came to give their respects to the man that was instrumental in the legalisation of cannabis in South Africa.

Stobbs, better known as one half of the so-called Dagga Couple, was killed in the early hours of Friday morning, at the property he and his partner Myrtle Clarke owned near Lanseria.

It is understood robbers entered the property and shot Stobbs in his bedroom, before making off with their cellphones and other property.
