Kebble death political: Leon Kebble: It looks like a hit Brett Kebble murdered

Johannesburg - One of the winners of last year's Brett Kebble Art Awards said she was "absolutely devastated" by the news of his murder.

"I am just incredibly shocked," Tanya Katherine Poole said on Wednesday.

Poole and Giyani artist Phillip Rikhotso were declared joint winners after the judges decided that both deserved the title.

"I liked him. He had a fantastic sense of humour and I enjoyed his company when we met," she said from her home in Grahamstown.

She said the awards were the biggest the country had ever seen and were the most progressive.

"What he has given this country in those terms is an enormous thing."

Kebble was shot dead in Melrose, Johannesburg, around 21:00 on Tuesday on his way to a dinner engagement.
