AKA LOSES FIANCEE IN TRAGIC FALL, FAMILIES RELEASE STATEMENT

Nelli Tembe, the fiancée of popular South African rapper, AKA, has died after she reportedly jumped out from the tenth floor of Pepperclub hotel on Sunday, April 11.

While the police said they are investigating the death, the details around the incident are still questionable.
According to Western Cape SA Police spokesperson, Captain Fredierick  van Wyk said crime-scene experts were looking for clues at the hotel.

“Cape Town Central police are investigating an inquest case after an incident at a hotel this morning at about 7.45am on the corners of Loop and Bloem streets, Cape Town CBD, where the body of a 22-year-old woman was found deceased,” he said in a statement.

AKA’s publicist, Phumza Nohashe, said the Forbes and Tembe families would release a statement soon. A source close to the musician said he was “inconsolable”.

Witnesses at the scene described hearing shouting and a “loud doof” sound, and said they had heard a man calling security and crying.

“Paramedics on scene have said a female had allegedly jumped from the 10th floor of that building. When paramedics arrived on scene, she had sustained polytraumatic injuries,” Netcare 911 spokesperson Shawn Herbst said.

“She was in a critical condition and they started a full life-support resuscitation. Unfortunately her injuries were too severe and she was declared dead,” he added.

Pepperclub Hotel general manager Efi Ella also confirmed that a young woman had fallen from one of the upper floors of the hotel at 7.30 am on Sunday.
Aka and Nelli got engaged  two months ago.
The families of both parties have released a statement confirming the death of Nelli and beg the public to give them time to heal.
