A letter from Nelli’s father that was read at her memorial at the Durban International Conference Centre, revealed that her father doesn’t believe that his daughter committed suicide.

 

“I cannot allow an unfortunate narrative to go unchallenged, a narrative that irks me to no end, that is ‘Anele was chronically suicidal’. All I can say is, until Anele turned 21, not a single member of her family, my family would have associated her with suicide. I knew Kiernan loved my daughter but their companionship needed more than love. It had to be premised and embedded on a Godly foundation,” the letter from Moses further stated.

“Anele made me happy as a father, very happy. Anele was feisty, strong-willed some might say. She was single-minded in her pursuits, what others would uncritically call stubborn. Anele never minced her words, an attribute that would perturb her siblings, which she balanced by giving her absolute best to those around her.

“In my deepest desire that my girl live to be who she wanted to be, I nurtured these Anele traits. For I truly believed that she had needed guidance rather than repression, persuasion rather than brute force,” he further said.

Generations is the biggest soapie ever in South Africa and it hosted some of the most talented actors and actresses in Mzansi. Some of the actors are still in the industry and doing big things on the screen. However, others have not lived up to expectation and their acting careers have slowed or died down. Here are some of the cast members whose careers took a dive downwards.

Kagiso Rakosa (Sharon)

Kagiso Rakosa played the role of Sharon who was married to Sam. She was part of the cast from 2005 to 2011. Her beauty and gorgeous body made her even more loveable. Sharon and Sam were a beautiful couple that made many wish to have one faithful partner.

The actress was meant to have a comeback but till to date her fans are still waiting. Since 2013, the talented Kagiso has been rather quiet and there are rumours that she might have a bay with Shona Ferguson. This is the reason why other think her career went down the drain.

Thabiso Mokhethi (Sam)Thabiso Mokhethi is an actor and TV presenter who played the role of Sam on Generations. He has also featured on popular show 7de Laan and Rhythm City. On Generations Thabiso played a soft and loving guy who did his best to make ends meet. People still remember him as Samuel from Generations up to date.

It is good to see popular TV personalities going out and actively giving back to the community. Singer and Actress Thandeka Zulu is continuing to give to the less fortunate making sure that hundreds of school kids are receiving brand new pairs of school shoes.

She took to her Instagram today to share a picture of herself in one of the schools in KZN giving away 900 pairs of school shoes.

She wrote: “Back to school campaign continues 900 boxes of school shoes were donated to the less privileged kids around KZN. Thank you @ntengafoundation @hollywoodbets @santaco_kzn for lending a hand.”

Earlier this month, she shared few pics at other schools also making sure that more children are benefiting from her back to school campaign.

“Smiles and celebrations were the order of the day. Uma wake waswela usafunda iskole whether I skirt, shirt, jersey or school shoes uyabazi ubunzimab bokuba hlwempu amongst other kids who have everything, so you’ll understand how these kids felt when they received their shoes today. About 900 kids benefited from today’s back to school shoe campaign.

Things that should be given to children. Confidence to know their self-worth, Strength to follow their dream, The ability to know how truly and deeply they are loved. Being able to communicate with them in a language that they understand is a true gift,” she wrote.

Thandeka is currently starring on Mzansi Magics’ hit drama series eHostela alongside popular actors such as Thobani Nzuza, Zola Nombona, Noxolo Mathula just to mention a few. She plays the role of Nelly on the show.

Some days ago, the media personality revealed one of the reasons she discontinued the show. According to her, some persons involved with the show have refused to pay her.

“I’m over it… and they owe me money so, nah!! Maybe….B*dazzled reloaded?” she said.

Meanwhile in 2019, Queen B seem excited ending the show as she claims it was her worst working experiences.

“Making Being Bonang Season 3 was one of the worst working experiences of my life!! Glad it’s ending…remind me to tell y’all why one day!”

After her recent confession about the money saga, the producers of the show refuted her claims, saying her management was paid fully, and that the poor performance of the show got it cancelled.

Speaking with The Citizen, Barleader TV Production head Legend Manqele said:

“The tweet doesn’t refer to my company or anyone specific. All money was paid to her management. For the record, Being Bonang was canceled because it wasn’t performing. It was the channel that decided not to continue with the reality show.”

AKA’s fiancée, Anele Nelli Tembe was laid to rest today, Friday, 16th of April 2021, but the unexpected occurred and South Africans are not taking it lightly.The funeral service held at Durban International Conference Centre; friends and families were there to respect the young lady.

Aside the sermon, tributes from persons very close to the 22-year-old were read out and displayed.

AKA paid his tribute by projecting a compiled short video of Nelli; however, it’s shocking and disturbing for many that the rapper’s ex-lover and babymama, DJ Zinhle surfaced in one of the slides.

Mama Kairo topped social media trend list as many were curious about the event.

A Twitter user claimed that it wasn’t intentional, as the person who helped AKA compile the photos mistakenly added the DJ’s photo straight from google, without checking it.

“The person who compiled that Anele Tembe slide he collected her pictures from google and picked the one ka DJ Zinhle by mistake Go and Google Anele Tembe pictures you will see that pic ka Zinhle pops up Surely the person is not familiar with Zinhle,” said tweep.
