Anele Tembe is being laid to rest today. Her father Moses Tembe personal tribute is read out. He speaks of how strong his daughter was, strong willed. She never minced her words.
Moses Tembe: “In 2009 I told her I wouldn’t have had any meetings that day. And would give her my undivided attention. 10-year old Anele wouldn’t hear non of it. She made such a scene of my deceit my meeting was moved. Anele was a dreamer.”
Moses Tembe: “We would often have father daughter debates about her life, but it was her life. And she was clear, dad I want to get married as a I develop.” #AneleTembe
Moses Tembe: “Anele’s dream has been shattered and so is mine. That said I count myself as entirely privileged and blessed having fathered a girl child like Anele.” #AneleTembe
Moses Tembe: “So why are we here? We are here because Anele is no more. How is Anele no more? That’s the question, in answering the question I must state the obvious, that I wasn’t there when she met her fate when she met her fate on Sunday. I don’t seek to attack any person...”
Moses Tembe: “nor cast aspersions, or suspicions, nor stigmatise any mental condition. However I can’t allow an unfortunate narrative to unchallenged. #AneleTembe
