‘AKA killed Anele’: Tembe family lawyer

Rapper Kiernan"AKA" Forbes' fiancé Anele Nellie Tembe's family believe that the rapper pushed or threw her from the balcony of their hotel room at the Pepper Club hotel in Cape Town two years ago.

The Tembes also believe that AKA did not attend to Anele who was alive 20 minutes after she landed on the ground, but instead cleaned the hotel room which had blood and then went ahead to party with his friends after her passing.

Manje lendaba yavuka ryt after AKA has been shoot ngakhabo Tembe futhi

I just can't seem to grasp why these two stayed in a toxic relationship... It's shattered glasses, it's a broken door, it's falling from a building... Both ending up dead... It's a story I will never forget... Horrific...

Mmm

Someone is trying to deflect on what is at hand , gun shot . Maybe the journalist behind should b3 taken for question, why a sudden interest. I pray that Forbes family get justice for their son. Something is not adding up here.

Someone is implicating himself here this letter should not have been published especially after this assassination.

What about at the Hilton hotel, when she was seen totally alone trying to throw her self down the building!? 🤔🤔

So many statements in one week from this family on this matter makes one wonder.

Fusekani.

Guys this can get ugly, we don’t want the Son Reporting let these two souls find rest while we find the murderers and sellouts.

so they killed AKA for revenge🤷🏿‍♀️ . families with mentally ill member are most oftenly indenial its even worse when they dont like the partner of their loved one, This Tembe family has been releasing too many statements, the guilt and anger is putting them underpressure

You bastards

But media WA rona ga o xap nix!! Ae🤦‍♂️

This is old news though,what must we do with this information?

Y'all bore me 🙄🚮

And we believe that they put a hit on AKA

Nna I was shocked when I found out Anele's age and the fact that she was living in Joburg with a 33 year old boyfriend, all the way from KZN! My mind was like 'Bo Anele tlhe ba e taola, ele ngwana o kana?.' Vat en sit and the relationship was public...

This is vexatious reporting. The police are still investigating the murder of AKA and here is City Press trying to link his fiancée's death to that of AKA. What evidence is there of anybody pushing Anele? Please let Anele and AKA rest in peace. God will judge those guilty.

Her family definitely held a grudge

Both sides of the stories are painful. Two young lives lost carelessly. 💔

This is a real poes time to release this story yknow .

💔💔 this is so messed up. It’s been 2years

The timing though but let me thool lest I get on the wrong side of the law , but justice for Kiernan period

kana why are you guys bringing this up again, this is not new..? Or is it a refresher course?

Was this case closed? Surely the parents of this girl are still grieving.

2 YEARS AGO YOU BLOODY WANKERS.

So they are bold to 'cast aspersions and accuse' AKA of killing Nellie, now that he too was killed? 🤷

We also believe they hired Iynkabi to kill AKA taking matters to their own hands

Their statements are loaded, so loaded!!!

Silly cows silly cows nxxxx

What are you insinuating without evidence Idiadmin

Doesn't matter now. They both gone.

Media outlets are no different from Nota and Slik Talk,, they will say anything just to stay relevant

Easy to say things now that he is not around to defend himself

Very sad

Maybe its me bit the ball is pretty much in the reader's court. You deduce what you will from this article.

They accused him for killing Anele and NPA declined to prosecute him. They assassinate him as a revenge. RIPAKA RIPTibz /Nadia AKASFUNERAL

It's ok what they believe, they can forever hold thier peace now

Is It Possible To Hear An Argument From 10th Floor While U're On The Ground, If Not How Did This Stefanutto Heard The Argument Theen Being Able To Go Down That Fast To Help Anele Or WTF Is Going On Here?

Media ,u just instigating hatred .im there better issues tho publish in ur paper

City press sies maan😡why bring this now? Why didnt to tweet this 2yrs ago? Le sele lona maan

So who killed AKA then?

it’s really disgusting and pathetic that y’all gotta use anele’s name for likes & views. LEAVE HER ALONE. LET HER REST. y’all are SICK.

RagelRose04 please read this when you have time😢

City press booooooooo propaganda

And City Press is not letting this story die sana kunini, imini yonke oko besithe nkxi, sikwi memorial service hay sana unity Press nabantu bakhe bakwa Tembe

Tembe family must be investigated. They are the prime suspect since they have the motive. But they're politically connected with powerful people. We might have a 2nd Senzo Meyiwa case here!

So it's a hit?

Our young adults children, celebrities or not, pls listen to we parents: ongoing relationship violence is given no room at all but end up in murder/suicide/ or both. Once experience violence & drugs consumption, just quit girls. Cse violence caused by cheating. So quit & b safe!!

What is the score now 1 - 1 or 0 - 0?

Sad truth that everyone especially in power families know , it’s about TO GO DOWN !!! I don’t believe the Forbes are going to leave this lying . We all know they want to finish with funeral proceedings and mize for a couple of months! akamemorialservice

What gutter journalism is this. City Press come on. Next week you can publish a story about Zuma acquitted on rape charges.

They reveal this conveniently when he is no longer around to defend himself

You are incredibly vile for reporting on this today

snatched_fire read this sis! It’s as clear as a crystal who ordered the hit! Dame it’s a dog life! 😭😭😭

Futsek man.What are you trying to do?

There's one greatest thing I love about death, it doesn't discriminate people. When it knocks by your and say let's go 6 feet down, there's no turning back you go.

Is it really necessary

pmcafrica So was it pay back , why this now? Very questionable hey 🧐

AKA got killed in Durban, now what must happen

This is disgusting and distasteful to say the least.Cant you allow him to be honored then show your wickedness.Let her family be at peace too.May God have mercy on the soul who felt it was ok to write this AT THIS VERY MOMENT! RIPAKA

City Press is absolutely trash for this. This was 8 months ago but you chose to report it now. Vultures

NandoMakamo1 Le disatane shame

Timing timing maan yessssess

Why was'nt this said when he was alive? Y'all weak.

pmcafrica Not conclusive

Well if that's the case I guess they finally found the closure they were looking for. This is so sad for both families. 💔

You saying this now why?

You have no shame City Press. If this is what journalism is all about these days then it is trash.

What rubbish reporting is this, you read the Tembe letter but ke you don't have viewership

Isukile ke manje ziyakhala

It is 50:50 manje .Case closed.

It's a bit obvious that the media is working for them.🤔

Had they done everything according to books and allowed justice to prevail, we would not be mourning AKA today coz he would be in prison

Strategic and manipulative of u to bring this up on the day of his memorial service…As if that’s what you want us to remember him by. We are not about to get distracted, we have his legacy in mind at all times.

He looks like a colored guy did he ever dated a colored woman because I always see him with brown beautiful girls

That's what the whole country believes

_nayocardoso

News24 you guys are filthy. Why publish this article now? Very disgusting!

Its scary how the media can be so reckless and irresponsible just to sell a few papers.

Then also we believe the family hired people to kill him.

Mara Julia_Maite , we are mourning the loss of an icon 😑. Couldn't you write about something else?

Her Death Revenged!! Case Closed🤷🏻‍♂️

Meaning the shooting might be revenge?

SANDF_ZA get ready a civil war is looming

Pathetic reporting

Your daughter can be crazy but you know things she would do or not no matter how much drugs they could be taking, you know if your child is likely to commit suicide or not

Mara why today,may he rest in peace

Why this now, are they implicated in AKA's assassination

Your article is cheap and dangerous journalism. It is seditious, incendiary, inflammatory to say the least. Am sure the public sees through this cheap and desperate attempt at being relevant.

“Dead men/women don’t tell no tales”

If it were my daughter or sister who died, I would also want ro know the truth. I wonder if police forensics were properly conducted at the scene.

pmcafrica Get outta here you lying fuck🤥🤥

Why did they not open a case and so they agree that they hired the assassin.

Stop doing what you doing...why was this not leaked before he died, yes we know about the abuse and its a bad thing, but no one knows if he really killed that girl..Ya'll want us to stop fighting for justice for AKA... We are not God akamemorial RIPAKA LongLiveSupaMega

🚮 🚮 🚮

Who's loss now ?

Textbook definition of horrible, but I suppose deliberate timing. 😡 Utterly Inhumane to not allow the Forbes the space to mourn and say goodbye to their son in a dignified manner.

When you worship an idol, you embrace him with his secret demons. I hope this isn't true

pmcafrica I wish you could find time to respond to our questions when we are asking answers, not just drop something and mize us…. Where did you get this information?

Since that lowly journalist from KZN took over as Editor at large, City Press has gone to the dogs.

I guess since the country is in a miserable state headlining tragedies sells paper for more paper Bo Satan ! 🤨

Nivundule incwadi endala.

There we go 🔥

They had 2years to say that but they say it now and when people say they are the ones who planned this hit they say NO 😏😏😏. If our police can do their job correctly will have people getting arrested before the end of this month 🤞🏽

pmcafrica The timing of this?

So it's an eye for an eye?

He probably did

*fiancee

The score now is double chance, Draw/ BTS and over 1.5

But why do you push this agenda now?

Why are we talking about Anele huh What exactly was her contribution to society besides being the downfall of AKA Remember her mother committed suicide..

Don't they realise they are implicating themselves? There is already a perception that they are behing the AKA assassination

So what they are all dead now ☹️

If this is true poor Tibz died for nonsense. Why are they only releasing these news today of all days if they knew this all along? It raises a whole lot of questions now. This has just got more intricate. Those two are no longer here they are the only ones who knows the truth.

Why now, are they justifying something?

According to this statement are the first suspects

This is like Romeo and Juliet 2.0

🤦‍♂️

Why The Lawyer released such statements when bro ain't around to defend Himself Truly sinister

Why can't they accept that their daughter committed suicide? She had her own demons that she was dealing with

Eye for an eye.

Oooh well the score is now 1-1!

Whoever is advising this family needs to fired because you’ve just proven both motive and opportunity. How do you leak this to the media when AKA has been killed?

Yhoooooooo💔💔💔

Even his mother and family know deep down that he murdered her.

And then what?

I told you yall AKA's death was an eye for an eye which is why Bheke Cele is quiet. AKA set himself by going to Durban

🧢YMCMB

masa_eve

They are exposing themselves these people smh very soon we will get another statement that “it was a rogue family member that sanctioned this whole thing”

Timming

Now that murder for hire charges can stick now. This was a wrong timing to publish bcs it stinks revenge after the NPA didnt find him guilty, so they took the matter on their hands

ntsikimazwai Couldn't say it when he was alive msunu yenu. Let the Legend rest 🙏

Yoh this is a LOT

Yhoooo hayi makade agcwatywe shem ngoba wooow kuningi 😢

The Anele's family need to stop shifting the blame and take responsibility. Maybe a therapist she was attending could give a light Nonetheless, every relationship has its ups and downs.

Then it’s obvious now “case closed” 🥹

The guts to only say it after he's gone

So…motive then…

Why the need to turn the narrative around now while the nation is mourning? Why the need from the Tembe family’s lawyer to shift the media’s focus to Anele’s death just days after AKA’s murder? Why not send condolences and leave it there?

Okay but say this after his death? Makes no sense

And then went outside to have a smoke?Mxm

...kusazoshuba mos!!!

Next is father to father watch the space

Niyabakhulumela abantu ningabazi just because they posted this and that on social media doesn't mean that's the life they lived

YUNG__CITY AkapelwaMukata read this article. Hectic

If your reputation is something you value, please follow up this story to the very end, you neither interviewed the investigators not the coroner, just planted more hate

So AKA killed Anele based on the Article my question is why now, you spend two years concluding on this then want to use it to blacket the issue of AKA being assassinated. What does City Press saying exactly

If “wrong timing” was a person 💀 Does this lawyer know what he has just said 🤡🤒👀👀

So he waited for AKA to die and say such statements. Fake ass

A clear provocation to Forbes family. Tembes are poking a bear here.. it won't end well.

Geesh this is EXPLOSIVE😥, IMAGINE AS PARENT FINDING OUT THAT YOUR CHILD WAS IN PAIN FOR 20MIN💔

Only if that hotel had cctv to show for it

Why are we forgetting the fact that she once did this? N not believe she could do it again?

Yoh

Isgaxa!

Then this settles it.

SithaleKgaogelo Ahaaaaaaa. Now we know whats up

Yoooooh

oh modimo wa kgotso. an eye for an eye.

?

pika_thando come this side

So now that they killed him who is going to kill them? & did them killing him bring Anele back? You can never understand the mind of a criminal I guess🤷‍♀️

Now it’s making sense

So it is 👁️for an 👁️

There's a video I saw on YouTube with text between Anele's dad and AKA where he's telling AKA that he just needs to be patient with Anele's mood swings and prays that one day she'll come to her senses...he was blatantly admitting that something is wrong with his daughter...

Don't even know how to read the room anymore bo doti 🤡😒

Let Bygones be Bygones

What a distasteful headline, let his family mourn without having to combat the media

It's sad in the midst of all this ... TIBZ died , tibz didn't push anyone ,tibz had no beef with the family of anele ... if the rumors were true why then was tibz murdered....😔😔😔 hey mhan hip hop lost 2 great souls in one night

To city press all of ypu leanya

So with this heading: I can believe that the Tembe guy killed AKA.

So that's why Thebe family decided to take the law into their hands to revenge on their daughter's death?

We are still mourning, please

Bafethu! Kushoniwe.

Mmmh 💔💔😭

Eh ThamiGatsheni

Why now …guess this concludes then they had him killed?

AKA killed Nelly Tembe and that's why I'm saying he deserved what happened to him

WHERE IS THE EVIDENCE CITY PRESS? HE COULD HAVE BEEN BROUGHT TO BOOK LONG AGO IF THAT WAS THE CASE..

If AKA did that. Threw her. Pushed her. Then that bullet to the head was warranted.

Iyoh

This is more detailed information than provided before. Nobody can convince me otherwise, that family lost a child under a man's hand.

Tembe family lawyer has just placed Tembe family right at the center of AKA's murder. Now the police can point out the motive.

So is that why they killed him in return ?

Now that he’s dead and can’t speak for himself you chose to bring this article to the public? Wrong timing

He then proceeded to party with his friends after Anelle the friends that told them is the one they used to kill him🤔🤔

An eye for an eye?

One wonders why they keep publishing statements of condolences when they know that they have already prosecuted him in their hearts 🙄crazy stuff…

City Press is in the business of selling news,, and I guess they have taken a calcuting risk, knowing very well the amount of exposure they will get out of this

bongz649 This was very insightful, just wondering why the article is only coming out now after Aka was murdered?

All we need to know that the family sent out a hit on AKA

Ahh Supa Mega 💔💔😪you are been done very dirty

Haaikhona could it be that the NPA declining to prosecute is a motive. I think in this kind of cases is best to go to court and test all theories against the accused to remove the speculation but something tells me even if he was acquitted the family was gonna still blame him.

Please do read. Just. Please read. Stoking unnecessary drama due to our own non-reading ism. Some of us are even so lazy to read comments. They just budge in nje for the sake of self-pleasing social media texting. Non-reading society is dangerous to itself.

Easy to say now that the man is dead and can't defend him self.

Mayi yokunya ifamily lawyer

I was right. This article was initially behind a paywall. I’m guessing the editor figured the importance of removing the paywall. Especially with the explosive headline like that.

So why didn't the lawyer pursue a private prosecution?

It still doesn't justify what happened

So what is this letter, are they admitting to have killed him in retaliation?

Yho how I wish people knew… anyways watch the next few weeks 🤐

so this article says he threw her off the balcony then proceeded to party with his friends while leaving her for dead basically. kunyantisa igazi and just so sad because we don’t know what happened. what a mystery 🤯

So why didn't they open a case. Ba bua marete

This article 😳

ThusoViiper__ They hid his comment

There are some insane lawyers. Yesterday, Moses Tembe published a statement urging people to avoid making perilous hints. But city press ?🤔

Letterb00

Do you believe “one shouldn’t speak ill of the dead”?

Bullsh*t🚮

1-1 draw

What a sad sad complicated mess for both families💔

Gutter journalism

So is this some sort of revenge?

Iyagula le Lawyer

I wonder how is this going to end ?🤔

They said it (indirectly) within days of her passing, why publish this now?

It makes sense.

Read the article guys

Any comments from NPA_Prosecutes before publication of this story?

KingMthi Screenshots anyone?

It is not make sure🤷🏼‍♂️

NjabuloKhambul3

That’s why they killed him?

That family knew the story all along and acted 2 years later. The nerve of that clown Moses to deny .

1 + 1 = 'Timing'

So his assassination was the retaliation?

I've being saying that all along....

Moses Tembe is guilt he sent izinkabi to assassinate AKA since his plan to get AKA arrested failed based on the NPA findings.

When there's smoke there's fire

Kahleni

Ahhh

it is easy to get to someone who is roaming the streets than the one who is in jail

He went partying just after his fiance passed away? Ehhhhh

Very much interesting facts by Tembe lawyers.. If that's the case then it is what it is.

Xolani_Shamase The plot thickens…

But guys no man 😳

Must be a very useless Lawyer to have said such without a court verdict. Can we safely say the Aneles killed aka too?

Has City Press been sitting with this information just waiting for an opportune time to release it? Or is this just more hogwash to distract detectives from the real issue? SAPS has work to do people. Stop undermining their work with nonsensical distractions. Nellie & AKA RIP

Somebody please share full article

So there we have it 1 + 1 =2.

pmcafrica

So THEY murdered him in return. Right?🤔

pmcafrica MVP_VPM

It's a tough one because the NPA wants to try cases it has a reasonable chance of conviction. They probably wanted the 'smoking gun'. It's infuriating for the victims and families jnvolved.

Click saved... pmcafrica

So are you saying AKA's death might be a revenge from the Tembes?

Yoh

This article gives me more reason to believe that they killed him 'eye-for-an-eye' kinda hit Really tragic because it just destroyed two families in the process. 💔💔

Reading this article the NPA was suppose to prosecute AKA.

Zinja

So you mean...?

Yoh, mos now it may seem like it's revenge yoyoyoooh

Absolutely unnecessary comment.

Nina msunu yenu

Trying to understand the motivation for this quote.

Ehh

They should have done private prosecution like Zuma did.

someone in that family killed AKA.

The timing of this reporting though

Why now?

DJKingSelepe O journalist ya moloi 🫵🏾

Really sad this whole story, from Anele's case and the possible GBV there, to Kienan's cruel demise .....but the Tembe's gv me Mafia ('untouchable') vibes... 👀

So the lawyer is saying the family is behind AKA’s hit as revenge to Anele “basically” and his paid to render this clue Vele

Hayi inene, kunzima emhlabeni. May they both rest in erternal peace.

Tony Forbes must retaliate viciously with Mitchell Plains gang.

Eish sometimes, di lawyer ha le na timing maan

Now we’re making progress on AKA’s hit.

This AKA guy's behavior at the time of Anele's death is very suspicious. Karma. He should not get any government funded or recognized funeral. He was just a normal citizen.

Moses Tembe killed his 1st Wife (Anele’s) mother …maybe that’s why Anele was suicidal… but it’s easy to blame AKA neh… or maybe it’s a cycle of suicides and killings… hayiiii!!

Then why when she died the family had nothing to say then !! Why now when something happened to him it comes out

This February month is gonna be the longest month of the year 2023

And therein as this admission will tell you, lies his assassination.

The article

Aka wasn't lying.. They wanna see him crumble.. They are focused on selling their magazines

le dom!

Its FRIDAY Abaphithizele 👇

The fact that they are raising this one means they are glad he is no more or they had a hand in his death.

When was this letter written? If it was some time ago, then must explain why they choose to publish this now.

This is AKA’s time pls give us space and stop irritating us

So they are even?!?

Tjo tjowe

👀why now?

Wrong timing, this will only increase the suspicion of the Tembes involvement in the MURDER of AKA

There was never any doubt, him being dead doesn't absolve him of all the crimes and horrible things he did.

Arrest him then

Velaphi ke lo Just tool doti

The timming

lesego_matlhoko

To hear this from Ramaphosa's preferred defense and propaganda tool of choice is hardly shocking.

Talking rubbish just because. No lawyer speaks like you, only a magistrate and judge can utter such words. Are you a qualified lawyer?

Who would want Kiernan dead if the Family lawyer is saying such yet the court couldn’t prove a thing regarding the matter JusticeForAKA

Table's turn bridges burn I guess we leave and learn... Yah neh Karma

This is so distasteful seriously !!! for clicks sies man

The timing of all this 😭😭😭

Articles like this shouldn’t be behind a paywall. Now people go around making wild speculations of the content of the article with just a headline to go with.

Stop telling me about this Wealthy girl who had zero impact on my life RIPKiernan

Gents we must just cancel city press for this RIPAKA

That lawyer is lying. He's doing it for publicity. F**k that lawyer.

Is the lawyer telling us something about Akas death? Just read this very well its like what do you expect at the end.

hmmmm

I’m glad the police said monitoring all social media comments.

WTF?

That means you know who killed him

May they both rest in peace. We gave the girl her respects, can we get space for AKA please.

'An eye for an eye will only make the world blind' Mahatma Gandhi

Collen_KM

“Wrong timing”, may Anele and AKA rest in peace.

What is this lawyer trying to say 🤔 weird statement 💔

Can they wait for next week and start with this nonsense

Collen_KM Tsek

The timing, 😒

Diva said she wasn't pushed but was rather trying to get away from him fearing for her life and fell

Now that lawyer is planting a bad idea at a wrong time bcos ppl are gonna start thinking this was obviously a revenge from someone who was closer to Anele.

If I can remember AKA wasn’t around the time she fall from the building

The timing is off.

Why saying now? Weak lawyer

MMM💔

The problem here was NPA deciding not to prosecute, now we are here again.

Anele didnt jump or fall she was obviously pushed

There we again SAn media is crap.
