Kirk, who was an ally of U.S. President Donald Trump, was shot and killed on Wednesday, 10 September 2025, during a public gathering at Utah Valley University.<\/p>\n<p class=\"align-left\">Following the news of Kirk&#8217;s death, several South African celebrities, including Gareth Cliff and DJ Euphonik weighed in. Sol Phenduka shared his perspective on Kirk&#8217;s unexpected demise during a recent episode of <i>Podcast and Chill<\/i>.<\/p>\n<h2>Sol Phenduka&#8217;s reflections on Charlie Kirk&#8217;s assassination<\/h2>\n<p class=\"align-left\">In a segment of <i>Podcast and Chill<\/i> that aired on Monday, 15 September 2025, Phenduka discussed the implications of Charlie Kirk&#8217;s death. Comedian Mpho Popps filled in for the absent MacG.<\/p>\n<p class=\"align-left\">Phenduka, who is known for his candid style and has experienced professional setbacks due to comments made on <i>Podcast and Chill<\/i>, pointed out the contradictions surrounding Kirk&#8217;s assassination, particularly considering Kirk&#8217;s strong advocacy for gun rights.<\/p>\n<p class=\"align-left\">While recognizing the irony of Kirk&#8217;s situation, having previously supported firearm ownership, Phenduka firmly stated that he did not approve of the shooting. He has also faced backlash for previous remarks on the show, demonstrating a clear awareness of the complexities involved.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI&#8217;m not celebrating his death, but I do acknowledge the poetic-ness of, you know, him saying, \u2018A few murders is fine, but people need to keep guns,\u2019 and then he goes out that way. I do acknowledge that, but I don&#8217;t think he&#8217;s deserving. You can&#8217;t just be killed for your views, bro. As a podcaster, it would be silly to say, nah, yeah, he deserved the truth. We sit here, and people disagree. Somebody is disagreeing with my view now,\u201d Phenduka said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"align-left\">You can watch <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/4a3hFnZItN0?si=OBJk9X0QSqfab9If&amp;t=2464\"
