Failure to prosecute AKA: Tembe family takes legal action against NPA. The Tembe family is said to be initiating legal action against the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) by bringing the case to the High Court. This move follows the NPA’s failure to disclose the documentation that resulted in their decision not to pursue charges against the deceased rapper, Kiernan ‘AKA’ Forbes, in connection with the death of Anele Tembe.
The aftermath of AKA’s tragic death in Durban has been messier than a plate of spaghetti in a windstorm. The Tembe family has been the target of finger-pointing by various individuals accusing them of having a hand in the rapper’s untimely demise, despite Moses Tembe’s valiant attempts to set the record straight with not one but two statements distancing his family from any wrongdoing.
Failure to prosecute AKA: Tembe family takes legal action against NPA
Last week, it was reported that the Tembe family’s lawyer believes that the rapper, not Anele Tembe, caused her to fall from the balcony of their hotel room at the Pepper Club hotel in Cape Town. The report comes after the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) decided not to pursue murder charges in the case this week. The lawyer is confident in this decision.
“The Tembes also believe that AKA did not attend to Anele who was alive 20 minutes after she landed on the ground, but instead cleaned the hotel room which had blood and then went ahead to party with his friends after her passing. These explosive details are contained in a scathing letter which was written on behalf of the family by their lawyers TM Incorporated Attorneys to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) in the Western Cape after it declined to prosecute the rapper following an investigation into Anele’s death in June last year.” wrote City Press
Reports have it that the family has decided to take the National Prosecuting Authority to the High Court for their failure to prosecute.
“The family of Anele Tembe, the late fiancée of Kiernan “AKA” Forbes, is taking the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) to the high court for failing to reveal the contents of a docket that led to its decision not to prosecute the late rapper in connection with her death.” wrote City Press
