Jabu explained how Nelli was not only AKA’s fiancée but his friend too.

“We were here three weeks ago for lobola negotiations and when we got here the warmth we received from the Tembe family made me realise why Nelli was the person she is. She was warm and loving, a testament to where she comes from.

It was touching to hear Jabu express how Nelli did her best to love the ones AKA loved as they became her friends and family too.

“Nelli was brilliant in the kitchen. I saw a Nigella or a Siba in her. She not only loved Kiernan but extended that love to all those he loved.”

May her soul rest in peace.
