Nally's brother, Benjamin Simson, has since confirmed the musician's death publicly.
He also urged the public and members of the press to give the family space to grieve without interference during this painful period.

Nally's legacy in Namibian music

His death at 33 has robbed the country's creative community of a talent that had only begun to realise its full potential.
His passing has also prompted fresh discussions around road safety along rural Namibian highways, particularly the Okahao-Oshakati route, which sees heavy traffic and has been the site of previous accidents.
