The death of model and aspiring chef Anele Tembe has been revisited through a video highlighting her final moments. Tembe, who was 22 at the time, was the fiancée of celebrated South African rapper Kiernan 'AKA' Forbes', fell to her death at a Cape Town hotel in April 2021.
On Friday, 10 July 2026, News24 teased video footage of Anele Tembe's final moments, and it gained momentum on Instagram. The publication noted that it pieced together the couple's Cape Town movements right up to the moment Tembe passed away.
Two years later, in February 2023, AKA was shot and killed outside a restaurant on Florida Road in Durban. With both individuals now deceased, the publication's decision to release the CCTV investigation has drawn sharp criticism from the public.

The latest in AKA's case
Meanwhile, Briefly News reported that the trial of the seven men accused of the murder of AKA and Tibz has been postponed, with new dates set for October 2026.
This was after the defence lawyers raised several issues, ultimately delaying the pre-trial proceedings. The Ndimande brothers are also linked to other serious criminal activities and face 24 serious charges.
