Former Police Minister, Bheki Cele has made a stunning revelation about the death of Anele Tembe, the fiancée of late rapper AKA, claiming that police investigators believed she was murdered.

Anele Tembe died in April 2021 after falling from the 10th floor of the Pepperclub Hotel in Cape Town. The case has been marred by delays and allegations of interference between the police and the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA).

During his testimony before Parliament’s Ad Hoc Committee, Bheki Cele revealed that the police had conducted a thorough investigation and concluded that Anele Tembe’s death was a murder case. However, the NPA refused to enroll the case for prosecution, citing lack of evidence. He expressed frustration that the matter was not pursued further, despite the police’s strong suspicions of foul play.

The revelation has sparked widespread outrage and calls for transparency, with many demanding answers about the handling of the case. Social media users are questioning why the case was not properly pursued, especially given the explosive murder implications. Some are accusing the justice system of protecting the famous and powerful.

Anele Tembe’s family has consistently maintained that she did not take her own life, and they welcome Bheki Cele’s testimony as a step towards justice. Her father, Moses Tembe, has expressed frustration with the slow pace of the case and has demanded accountability. The family alleges that AKA was involved in Anele’s death and that the investigation was mishandled.

Bheki Cele’s testimony has significant implications for the ongoing inquest into Anele Tembe’s death. The case is set to continue, with many expecting that the truth about Anele’s death will finally be revealed. The NPA will likely face pressure to explain why they refused to prosecute the case despite the police’s strong suspicions of murder.

As the nation demands justice for Anele Tembe, one thing is clear: the truth about her death must be revealed. The public is eagerly awaiting the outcome of the inquest, hoping that it will bring closure to the family and justice for Anele.

Anele Tembe was killed by AKA according to Bheki Cele, which means that the father of Anele ordered a hit on AKA as a revenge, this story was long written and people didn’t believe it allegedly, what a sad story, no one deserves what happened to both of them #AdHocCommittee pic.twitter.com/05q4WaNRl0
