Anele Tembe’s death

Meanwhile, the Western Cape police have denied reports that investigations into Anele ‘Nellie’ Tembe’s death have been completed. 

This after there were reports from publications such as City Press that the police had “concluded” their investigation.

Tembe was the fiancée of popular rapper Kiernan “AKA” Forbes. 

The 23-year-old died on April 11, 2021, after she fell to her death at a hotel during the couple’s trip in Cape Town, where AKA was scheduled to perform.

It is believed that Tembe had taken her own life. Inquest dockets, investigations and probes are standard in the cases where the deceased died of “natural causes”.
