Close friends and family gathered at the Durban International Conference Centre on Friday morning to pay their final respects to 22-year-old Anele “Nelli” Tembe, who died on Sunday.
Nelli was engaged to rapper Kiernan “AKA” Forbes.
She apparently fell from the 10th floor of the five-star Pepperclub Hotel in Cape Town on Sunday morning.
During the virtual funeral, her father, Mr Tembe, says his daughter was full of life and thanked his family for the unconditional love. Reflecting on Anele’s life, Mr Tembe says no one in his family would have associated her with taking her own life.
Anele’s Dad also said her daughter did not commit suicide;
“my daughter was not suicidal her death was a result of alcohol and drug abuse” he said.
“I know the pain that you are in my son I invite you to turn to the Lord and you will become a better man,” Anele’s dad to AKA.
He said he knew of their relationship and approved and knew that Kiernan loved his daughter.
