Cape Town – Moses Tembe, father of the late Anele Tembe, has expressed no animosity towards AKA until his death, contrary to popular belief.
Anele’s death, resulting from a fall in April 2021, remains under investigation.
AKA was subsequently shot dead in Durban two years later.
Despite speculation linking the Tembe family to his death, Moses emphasises their desire for AKA’s presence in court to provide closure.
“It has always been critical for the family to have Kiernan in the box, whether as a witness or as an accused. For us a proper closure required that the last person who was with our daughter be present,” he said during an interview with SABC.
He refrained from accusing AKA of his daughter’s death, advocating for objective evidence.
“Whatever people were saying later about him, I gave him the benefit of the doubt right up to the last day. I loved Kiernan so much.
“I kept on saying to my children, my parents and everyone who was affected by this. It’s important to treat Kiernan as our own child so we can actually be objective as this process starts. I object to anyone who suggests that Kiernan killed our daughter. I’m saying we need to lead evidence, and the evidence will tell us exactly what happened.”
Meanwhile, journalist Melinda Ferguson is set to release a book titled “When Love Kills,” chronicling Anele and AKA’s relationship, expected to shed light on their tragic story.
