In April 2023 marked the two-year anniversary since it was confirmed that Durban-native Anele “Nellie” Tembe had tragically passed in Cape Town. This was after she allegedly threw herself over a balcony where she and her fiance at the time were staying.
When the news of her untimely passing was made official. There was drama surrounding the events of the night which resulted in her death. As reported at the time:
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.
These explosive details are contained in a scathing letter which was written on behalf of the family by their lawyers TM Incorporated Attorneys to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) in the Western Cape after it declined to prosecute the rapper following an investigation into Anele’s death in June last year,” wrote City Press. Reportedly, Rob Stefanutto, who heard the argument between
AKA and Tembe right before the other tragic eventuality played out. Stefanutto confirmed he had a heated argument between a male and female coming from AKA and Tembe’s hotel room.
Reportedly, “the lady, who later turned out to be Anele Tembe, was heard desperately asking the attacker, being male, to leave her alone. Moments thereafter Stefanutto heard Anele Tembe drop, he then administered CPR on her”.
Now it seems that the SAPS have found new evidence which has resulted in their latest move.
SAPS allegedly reopens Anele “Nellie” Tembe’s case
While the country has been concerned with finding out who were the assassins behind the tragic murder of AKA back in February 2023. This is as three months have passed, and despite there being CCTV footage of his last moments, no arrests have been made just yet.
Sunday World has come out with a story alleging that SAPS has reopened Anele’s case. The publication shared:
“The police have opened a fresh investigation into the death of slain rapper AKA’s fiancée Anele Tembe.
Tembe, fondly known as Nelly, died after she “fell off” from the balcony of Pepper Hotel in Cape Town two years ago, after an altercation with the rapper…”
A dead man tells NO tale.

Hopefully, this means that the Tembe family will finally find some resolution and peace. This is as in light of AKA’s assassination which took place in Durban, the family has been suspected to be involved.
In light of these allegations, the family has continually refuted the claims. Anele’s father Moses Tembe released multiple statements, with the most recent asserting:
According to Moses, they are gravely concerned about the flood of posts on various social media platforms that accuse him and his family of allegedly assassinating the rapper.
“It is with grave concern that my family and I have had to endure a flurry of posts on various social media platforms that accuse me, and members of my family, of being involved in the death of Kiernan’ AKA’ Forbes,” the Durban businessman said in the statement.
