EXCLUSIVE I Anele Tembe's father, Moses, speaks to the SABC News 

I am so incredibly sad that Tibz was a victim in this... He did not deserve to die for something he had nothing to do with...

AKA and Anele shouldn't have met period. Love and light to both families...

He did it. Moses did it! You can see he is at peace now that AKA is no more.

This story will forever be sad on both sides

I like how Chriselda asks questions. It’s measured, calm and deliberate.

"seeing your daughter covered in foil on national television, was a traumatic experience" 💔

Crazy how he said we should trust our law system while he still says that the law system failed to investigate properly…so it’s really giving contradictory vibes

He's very strong. I cant imagine how painful this must have been fo him😢

I am AKA fan but I'm also a father. I know what I would do to anyone coming for my daughter.

One thing I hold against AKA about that incident was that he was selfish and self preserving. Why, because he married a very young girl/woman (comes with a lot of responsibility) and when she was having a "mental" breakdown or whatever it was she was going through, he was busy collecting evidence video recording the entire house and speaking his "side of story", while his YOUNG WIFE is being consoled by his friends. Like dude, wake up, you are now a married man, you are the husband, the PROTECTOR. Worse still, he said she threatened to commit suicide that day and hour and his response: "I removed myself from that situation" , like hey munna! Which world do you live in? You wife threatens to kill herself and your response is to leave the room and not comfort her by all means?? He had the power to save her life by being playing his role, a responsible husband, whether she was going crazy or not, the moment you say I do, you accept that responsibility. He failed her and her father who entrusted her with him. I would feel sour too if she was my daughter.

“He loved Kiernan for her daughter because Anele was her flower. He was disappointed by the way things turned out.” That is what Im sensing.

Eye 👁️ for an eye 👁️ leaves the world blind

Don't judge untill you in this man's shoes

Don't listen to the words, watch the body language it tells the truth on how he really feels. At the start of the interview he is calm and still. When asked about AKA he starts touching his glasses, fidgeting.

It's not rocket science that the person who was with Anele at the time of her death would be the main suspect.

It’s sickening How Tebello died senselessly

AKA was actually very weird for dating/being engaged to a 21-year old when he was in his 30s.

Imagine getting a call that your child is no more 😢. A child young, not sick, with so much to give to the world.

RIP Anele . Be comforted Mr Tembe .I know your pain.

The more I listen to this man, the more he reminds me of me..... very capable

❤Keep being strong Mr Tembe. Nothing hurts like losing a daughter, may her legacy continue to stay alive🕊

This men really prepared himself, l like they way he answered questions, very intelligent that one 💯

So funny that Anele passed on in Cape Town where AKA was born and AKA died in KZN where Anele was born...

AKA took his time , cleaned up the apartment before going downstairs. They were both toxic but he honestly knows what happened doesn’t mean him dying was right but he knows he knows.

Parents love to believe that they know us as their children but truth of the matter is , they don’t ! We evolve on a daily! The kid out knew at birth isn’t the same 22 years later.

AKA already said everything in an interview! This guy has GUILTY written all over his face

She was suppose to ask thembe hw he felt, reacted when AKA was murdered. If thembe knows those brothers and why he think they would want AKA dead ?

Hmmmm!! AKA did not realize how far he had entered the lion's den!!! There is alot more to this powerful man than what meats the eye!! An all round South African tragedy!!!

It's still painful even today to listen to the story of Anele and AKA. It's sad to be a parent in this case. 1st it was the Tembe family who wanted answers and closure, now it is AKA's family and his friend's family who want answers and closure. I don't think pointing fingers will make anyone feel any better in this case. All I can say is. Nothing can be changed. Both families lost. Including AKA's friend family. What a sad love story.

Watch your children like a hawk. Wickedness in this world has compounded.

Your daughter was suicidal , and on those attempts he always tried to jump out of a building. But you indirectly blame AKA for her death.

Why was this interview conducted only now? Interesting

Perhaps AKA didn't push her but I hope we can all learn something from this about how our actions and how lack of responsibility in relationships can have tragic consequences. Some people know that they are toxic and cannot change but still insist on being in a relationship with another, and other people find themselves unable to leave relationships where they feel emotionally or mentally tortured. It's sad. We should do better to protect ourselves and others.

Mother killed herself daughter tried to kill herself before dating AKA means there was Mental illness. We know what happened in Durban Hilton hotel

A love affair that should have been declined by the heavens. What a painful loss to all involved. Tibs mom died of a broken heart shortly after burying her only son. Tibs was gunned for nothing. Wow...the truth shall come out.

When Mr Tembe lies, he adjusts his glasses. I think he played a part in AKA's murder because it had to be someone very powerful and influential, that had the resources to kill someone so powerful and influential like AKA. I understand his anger as a Father who lost his daughter but unfortunately Tibz got killed in the crossfire and he must answer for that murder, atleast. Something must really be done about these hitmen in SA. Hiring killers has almost become normal in this lawless, leader less country called South Africa!

No one knows what happened but if you love someone why spend time cleaning up the room and deleting the phone while your fiancé supposedly just jumped off the building. Why would anyone ask his friends to go up and down checking if their loved one was alive or not instead of them. Anyone who has had depression, severe or not knows that no one would jump naked, unless they plan to do it in a bath tub. When someone feel suicidal they take a long time to consider and reconsider, plan to and unplan and plan again, it NOT a spare of a moment thing, I’ve never had of any spare of a moment suicide. People must educate themselves and stop living under the celebrities spell.

A narcissitic father in denial that her daughter had mental problems that led her to suicide. Behind that smooth talking there's a hateful bitter narcissist seeking revenge for his imaginary killing of her daughter.

NPA would not prosecute because of the evidence from cctv (cameras) that these posh hotels have that show Anele jumping over the barrier and NOT being pushed. Kiernan was not ever a murderer and his brutal and untimely murder needs a more thorough investigation to root out the mastermind. RIP Anele, Kiernan and Tibelo

I would never understand, if a loved one died and no answers are found

The pain to go through , as a parent , no one deserves this , sorry Mr. Tembe and the Tembe Family.

This sounds like checkmate!

Its really sad how Tibz got caught in the cross fire in all of this

Both families blaming each other without pointing fingers if only they were honest with their children and about their children AKA was toxic and mistreated women. Anele had mental health issues .

The naked part I can't fathom... It's so scary and heartbreaking at the same time... If she did do it herself she must have been not in touch with reality anymore... She must have lost herself in this toxic relationship.. Whether it be with substance, alcohol, mental illness... I'm just imagining what she must have felt... The anguish... If Aka threw her, why would he do it while she is naked... The only two people that knows what happened is no more... I pray that these families just find peace in the unknown...

This is a lot because she was suicidal, those pictures of Aka breaking in was horrific but what if she did jump fearing her life or wanting to comit suicide, what if he took advantage of her suicidal history and pushed her? Only Anele and Aka know what happened that morning. Rip to both of them

But why wasn't AKA next to her on the ground? Your girlfriend falls or jumps from the 10th floor, and you stay in the room? Then act like you are guttered at her funeral? Honestly, AKA was only treated well because of his celebrity status. He should have been arrested.

If you listen to this interview , he is blaming AKA for the death of Anele Tembe. He believes its him deep down.

The funny part is Anele once wanted to jump from the top of one of the buildings you own in Durban.Maybe she wanted to jump for fun as you say she loved her life but i dont think she was going to survive from jumping a 15th story building.Your statement says it all man about the death of AKA.

He's saying AKA did it without actually saying it. At the same time time I do believe that the most logical thing for the Tembe family was to see AKA in the dock . But also what complicates things further is the current evidence before court linking the Gcaba family which might also point to him.

MOSES TEMBE SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THIS INTERVIEW AT ALL! 🤞

Moses did it🤞

I pray they find closure and may her soul continue resting in peace 🕊️♥️

She tried jumping off of a building before, in full view of cameras. What did you do as her dad? You married her off. That was a cry for help, you missed an opportunity to parent. I think you sir, are trying to shift the blame, but you feel guilty. AKA's death, wheather you are involved or not, will not remove that guilt. May both their souls rest in peace. There are no winners here.

Moses did it. He has already concluded in relation to the findings.

Leave Moses alone. I felt pain when he described how he felt when he heard news of his daughter's passing.

😢 a very sad painful as a father to hear this sad news . I like it when it goes Deep . Chriselda you're the best . The analysis is superb

Criselda should have asked him: (1) Anele tried to kill herself in Durban - was it Aka? (2) It’s reported that Anele’s mom also committed suicide- ,perhaps Anele’s mental instability was due to that fact & also fuelled with drugs she was allegedly taking

Mr. Tembe I am with you my guy. Eve if they claim you did something. I stand with you 110%

Tembe murdered Mega.

So sad and much strength to you my brother and family. As a father, this is the pits of grief💔

He doesn't know his daughter. He says he wanted Kiernan saying with his own mouth what happened. Kiernan has explained what happened. He doesn't like the truth Yooh this man

Thank you Chriselda ❤ Great reporting!

Tempe looks so fulfilled its like someone who says I’m happy now. He’s got that’s smile of satisfaction. He did it and he doesn’t care.

I don't know why people insist he's the one who killed AKA! His family were finally getting the NPA to re-open his daughter's case, why would he want him to die instead of being in trial?

I cannot imagine the pain the Tembe family went through and are still going through by losing their daughter in this manner. So many questions going through their mind as to what happened on the day in question. Who was with her before the incident? If she really was suicidal why was she left alone in a Hotel? It doesn't make sense to me. You can't say a person has tried to kill herself but you then leave her alone, like really? It has been said that she was laying there for like 20 minutes after the alleged incident, and she was still alive. So, the question then is where was AKA during this time? If she really was suicidal as AKA claimed. We will never know the truth because they are now both gone. I don't believe that she was suicidal and if she was AKA would never have left her alone for such a long time. I don't know what happened on the day in question but the scenario of suicidal and killing herself doesn't make sense. I don't think it's fair to Mr.Tembe to say his daughter committed suicide and he knows it. I mean what proof do you have to boldly say that. I wonder if Anele was your daughter would you say the same. I must also say that i feel sorry for the Forbes family as well for losing their son especially in the manner they did, but at least we know he was short and killing that we know. This is sad for both families honestly.

May her soul continue rest in peace. This is very painful as a Father of the daughter 💔

They must have a lot of connections to be able to come onto SABC news and ramble on

Why now? He's been eerily quiet now the suspects have been caught and there are news from court of a R800 000 payout suddenly he has something to say🤔...and he can't even bring himself to say AKAs name. He says the family didn't get closure because they had wanted to see Kiernan in the box...hmm🤔

Babes WeNdaba Sis Criselda great job. Brilliant dignified exclusive.

May the truth come out for both families and the public. May the Forbes family be prosecuted . If found out to be with holding any evidence / information . That Kiernan could've shared with them. About what really happened , leading to the Tembe's daughter committing suicide. May the Tembe family be prosecuted too if found to be guilty for being the mastermind behind the shooting and killing of AKA . Justice for Tebello Tibz Motsoane ( RIP ) 🙏 🪦 ...

The timing of this interview 😢

I feel the pain of the father. AKA should have given them answers.

Imagine being the father, if he did it, I understand 😫🙆🏾‍♀️

Why is he talking only now

Anele was found with scratches on her body, showing that she was in a fight before jumping off. Her fam hired a private investigator, they approached the police with evidence, which was labeled as "not enough" for arresting AKA.

we have never given this family time to heal or support them and this says a lot about us.

So sad for both families. May you find peace and allow her to rest peacefully. It's hard to comprehend this as a mother of girls.

Shame to a broken hearted Dad. 💔 May you and your family be Blessed with love care and kindness. May time be a healer 😢😊

I think he didn't do it. But people who cares about him did it but not him.

Rip Nelly Tembe 😢

I understand this man and his familys pain...the wound of losing a family loved one never heals

The moment he was asked about his involvement in AKA’s death, he started fixing his glasses and kicking his lips ..

It's so disgusting to see some of the comments suspecting Anele's father for AKA death , actually who suppose to Bury his or her child ? Even if he did it in revenge of his daughter, I don't see anything wrong with that .

A man heartbroken over the loss of his daughter. Learning his daughter was found naked and alive for 20 min. Possibly thinking of so many interventions that could've happened. Only for the justice system to break your heart again and again . May she rest in peace.

Mr. MOSES really looks and sounds so RESPECTFUL. You can hear he is still HURT. PRAY FOR YOUR FAMILY AND THE FORBES FAMILY.

Humble man was thinking his been quiet.. it sad for both parents AKA and Anele, we can speculate but why Anele’s case was never priority..

He touches his glasses every time he nervous

She committed suicide and he knows that

They should have asked him about that AKA song called "Anxiety/Diary"

the last straw for the family was the fact that the so called fiance was not even there to comfort her in her last moment on earth. that is what set the ball rolling for the revenge for the family because he not only disregarded anele but he disrespected the family as a whole and you must remember this is a rich and powerful family with major ties so the father may not have directly oerdered the hit but his extended family memebers especially his brothers may have.

I will not forget his response as a father in the message when AKA told him about Anele's issue. Mr Tembe said, she is dramatic and he should find something in the industry to entertain her. Ignored his childs issues. Doing what you should have done when she was here.

He’s still gaslighting the effects of drug use and mental health issues.

I'm so sorry for this loss. The father is trying really hard to be respectful to Keenan but more to the dead. Very difficult position. RIP to both

Very sad indeed to lose a child.You expect your child 2 bury you not the other way. May her soul RIP

This gentleman fix his glasses averyt time Criselda poses an uncomfortable question , I'm not insinuating anything though.

Can see the presenter is also touched while ssking the questions 😢❤

Well spoken...polished simple and articulate Yizo baba!

Is it me or his demeanor changed when he was asked about prosecution and the case ka Anele... a lot more stuttering, touching his glasses and moving around on his chair. Ai im no police so let me hold myself

Tembe look very pleased why why
