[WATCH] 'Anele did not commit suicide' - Tembe family allude to substance abuse Updated Nokukhanya N Mntambo Share this: She was rumoured to have jumped from the window of an upper floor at the Pepper Club hotel. At her funeral on Friday, Tembe's family denied this version of events. Family friend Sandile Zungu choked up as he read a tribute from Tembe's parents at the Durban International Conference Centre. "Anele loved herself so much, she wanted to live more rather than less. As Anele's father I hereby state categorically that Anele was neither suicidal nor did she commit suicide," Zungu read.
