Just two months ago, Kiernan 'AKA' Forbes was also tragically killed, adding to the already difficult situation for the Tembe family whilst simultaneously fueling speculation of their involvement in the rapper's death.

According to City Press, the Tembe family lawyer has since come forward to allege that AKA played a significant role in Anele's death, with evidence pointing to him as the main player behind the tragedy. In a scathing letter, the family accuses the NPA of failing to prosecute the rapper while he was still alive.

As we remember Anele on this second anniversary of her passing, our thoughts go out to her family and friends. May her memory inspire change and justice for all those who have suffered similar tragedies.
