According to The South African, Rob questions why Anele Tembe's then fiance, AKA, did not rush down to help when she had fallen off the balcony at the Pepperclub hotel.

Rob said for the entire duration, Anele was barely breathing when he administered CPR. He had reportedly spotted AKA standing on the balcony but did not rush to be with Anele.

“One has to wonder whether he didn't come down and instead chose to hide away upstairs because he might have been scared that I would recognise him. He had seen me standing on the balcony across his room just after she dropped,” Rob was quoted saying.

Rob suspects foul play in the investigation

The Cape Town businessman further stated that the police never contacted him to make a witness statement.

Rob alleged that the Tembe lawyer assisted him in making a detailed statement, but he still has no knowledge of its whereabouts.
