A memorial service for former SABC broadcaster and music rights activist, Owen Ndlovu will be held on Wednesday in Randburg, Johannesburg.
The service will take place at Walter Sisulu Hall, at the corner of Malibongwe Drive and Hans Schoeman Road in Praegville, Randburg from 11am to 4pm.
He will be buried on Friday, 25 September.
Gauteng police are still hunting three suspects, and the motive for the killing has not been established.
Ndlovu was accosted on the evening of Tuesday, 15 September, as he waited outside a church in Katlehong to collect his wife, Portia.
According to police, three men, one of them armed, pushed her aside and forced him into his Ford Raptor before driving off.
Residents found his body beside a road in neighbouring Thokoza the following morning, with gunshot wounds and his bag lying a few metres away.
The bakkie was later recovered, abandoned, in Walkerville, south of Johannesburg.
The Germiston Trio Crimes unit is investigating.
Family spokesperson and a colleague, Eugene Mthethwa has said the family cannot understand why the attackers would abandon the vehicle and then pursue and shoot him, and has appealed to members of the public who circulated photographs of Ndlovu’s body on social media to take them down, saying the images are distressing for his children.
Ndlovu spent years as a familiar voice in South African sports broadcasting and later moved into production through Michaelowen Productions, which supplied radio programming to the Premier Soccer League.
In recent years he became one of the more forceful voices in the fight over artists’ royalties, campaigning through Artists United.
That work brought him into sustained conflict with the Southern African Music Rights Organisation (SAMRO) and its chief executive, Annabell Lebethe.
Ndlovu accused the organisation of governance failures and of mismanaging money owed to artists, allegations SAMRO has rejected. The dispute ran through several courts.
He was due back in court in a related matter the day after his body was found. That matter was postponed to 2 October.
SAMRO said in a statement that it was saddened by his death, extended condolences to his family, and condemned violence in all its forms. It said it would not comment on the litigation out of respect for the family, and would leave the investigation to the authorities.
His death has drawn tributes from broadcasters, musicians and sports figures, and has fuelled speculation online about whether his activism played a role.
Police have not established any connection between the killing and his disputes in the music industry.
Funeral and burial details will be announced by the family in due course.
