Author Melinda Ferguson has confirmed Moses Tembe’s contribution to her book When Love Kills: The Tragic Tale of AKA and Anele Tembe. This follows reports that the Durban businessman distanced himself from any involvement, including allegations he commissioned it.
The controversial book reflects on the toxic and allegedly abusive relationship between the rapper – real name Kiernan Forbes – and his fiancée, Anele. It also delves into both their untimely deaths.
The release of the book comes amid an inquest for the 22-year-old woman who fell off the tenth floor of the Pepperclub Hotel on 11 April 2021. It also coincides with charges of murder against seven men accused of murdering AKA in an “assassination” on 10 February 2023. Earlier this month, Moses Tembe – via a family spokesperson – denied commissioning or contributing to When Love Kills “in any way.”
