The South African rapper’s statement comes in the wake of a News24 report, which claimed to have seen images where “AKA can be seen using his hands to violently break down a wooden door to enter the bedroom in their apartment in Bryanston, Johannesburg where Tembe was hiding”. The incident allegedly took place on March 13.
AKA admitted that he and Anele Tembe had faced troubles in their relationship but said he refused to be drawn into exposing those in the wake of Anele’s death. Anele Tembe died on the 11th of April 2021, after falling from the 10th floor of the Pepperclub hotel in Cape Town. The matter has been under investigation by police.
