On Sunday Morning, the Tembe and Forbes’ families released an official statement regarding the passing of their beloved daughter, fiancé and daughter-in-law.

“It is with the deepest regret that we, the Tembe and Forbes families, confirm the untimely passing of our beloved fiancé, daughter, sister, and daughter-in-law, Anele Tembe (22). Anele tragically passed on in the early hours of this morning, Sunday 11 April 2021.

“We are still in shock and are dealing with our emotions, as she was an exceptional and gifted young woman, with so much life ahead of her. She had a sweet nature about her and was always nurturing to those around her.

“Her fiancé, Kiernan Forbes, is currently inconsolable and is surrounded by family and closest friends.

“At this hour of our grief, we humbly request that our families be given privacy and time to heal.”

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.

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.

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.”
