On 20 June, podcaster and author Sizwe Mpofu-Walsh reunited with Sim Dope and Greyhound, his former bandmate from Entity, during the 20th school reunion at the prestigious St John’s College in Johannesburg.
Kiernan Forbes, also known AKA was in a hip hop group called Entity, which also included Sizwe and Greyhound.
Their only album scored a KORA nomination under the Best African Hip Hop category. While schooling at St John’s College, the trio formed the group, and though Sizwe and Greyhound chose different career paths after matric, AKA continued with his music aspirations.
