Rapper Riky Rick's wife, Bianca Naidoo, remembered her husband, real name Rikhado Muziwendlovu Makhado, in a heartfelt tribute at his funeral on Tuesday.

Makhado died on Wednesday, 23 February, at age 34.

Naidoo started her heartbreaking tribute by painting a picture of Makhado as a loving and caring father to their two children, Maik and Jordan - a side only a select few got to see.

"He was an amazing father to Jordan; they had the most amazing bond since day one. She brought softness to his life and he to hers," she said.

About parenthood, she said: "Our children taught Riky and I the importance of family values. He loved teaching them new things. He wanted them to always be open to new experiences. He always wanted them to stretch their thinking. Expand their horizons and be open to possibilities.
