A few days ago, the late Anele Nelli Tembe’s father, Moses Tembe slammed rumors that his family killed the rapper.

We’ve never judged Kiernan. We demonstrated our love for him to his very last day. We are saddened by this sad eventuality as it robs of us an opportunity we have been waiting for so patiently to vindicate our daughter in court or in an inquest.”

I would like to visit their family and convey my condolence in person. As a parent, I feel deep pain for Kiernan’s parents (Tony and Lynn Forbes,) his daughter Kairo and the family at large.”
