WATCH: 'He asked me to shake his hand' - Family describe Robbie's last moments

On Wednesday Robbie Malinga's family and friends gathered at a housing complex in northern Johannesburg to host a press conference about the musician's death.

For the first time it was revealed the musician had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in June this year. His brother, Bheki, said it was stage four and by then they knew they had limited time with Robbie.

Robbie, who died on Christmas day, battled with walk and eat in his final days. He insisted on inviting his whole extended family to be with him on Christmas day.

Here Bheki describes his brother's last moments.
