Family, friends and colleagues of media personality Warrick Stock, popularly known as DJ Warras, are gathered in Rosebank, north of Johannesburg, as his funeral takes place on Tuesday.
The funeral followed an emotional memorial service held last Friday in Sandton.
The 40-year-old was shot and killed in the Johannesburg central business district on 16 December.
Police said he was ambushed outside Zambesi House, near Carlton Centre, where he had been working on security matters.

His sister, Nicole Stock, reflected on his influence, saying he belonged not only to his family but also to the country.
“He was the epitome of love. He was love in flesh and blood,” she said.
“I realised today that he never belonged just to us. He belonged to a country, he belonged to a nation, and he belonged to the people.”
