After the sudden demise of South African rapper Kiernan Jarryds Forbes better known as AKA, there have been numerous rumors here and there suggesting his death might be a revenge for the death of his former and late girlfriend Anele Tembi who died in 2021 after falling from the death floor of her hotel building.
After the death of Anele, people began circulating and blaming AKA for her death which the rapper denied. Aka was also cautioned not to visit the Durban Florida in South Africa since thats where Anele hails from and his father had so much power of the town. In a new twist of event, a revelation have been made over a speech Aneles father made during her funeral which people think the father might be the root of AKA fatal shooting.
When Anele died, people began circulating it was out of depression and that she had being suicidal for a while which the father boldly declined such thoughts and from his speech, one could see he boldly had someone in mind whom he thinks was a contributing factor to her daughters death.
I wasn't there when Anele met her fate last
Sunday. I neither seek to attack any person nor
cast aspersions nor create suspicions or
stigmatise any mental condition.
However, I can't allow an unfortunate narrative
to go unchallenged. A narrative that irks me no
end as a father, which maliciously pervades some
circles, that Anele, my daughter, was chronically
suicidal or had suicidal tendencies.
All I can say is that, until she turned 21, Anele
wouldn't consider taking her life as a solution.
Not a single member of my family, Anele's family,
will have ever associated Anele with suicide; It
never arose. Living would not have been Anele's
challenge. On the contrary, Anele loved herself so
much, she wanted to live more rather than less.
As Anele's father, I hereby state categorically that Anele was neither suicidal nor did she commitsuicide.
Ladies and gentlemen, we need to understand the
forces that put us in a situation that we find
ourselves. Of course, we must as a matter of extreme priority deal with the scourge that
bedevils our youth. Alcohol, which is overused
and drugs, especially if we envisage our youth
contributing meaningfully to our nation-building
and economic development efforts.
Fellow south Africans we better wake up and
smell the coffee. We have a serious problem with
substance abuse and add to that other social ills, then we are in a crisis.
