Anele Tembe, who was fondly known as Nelli, died when she allegedly jumped from the balcony of a hotel room in Cape Town after an altercation with the award-winning rapper, real name Kiernan Forbes.
The Sunday paper understands the police are set to apply for Section 205 of the Criminal Procedure Act to obtain Anele Tembe’s records from her Apple phone, which include text messages and e-mails she received and sent to her close contacts.
It is also believed that the family has even requested the police to ask Apple to assist in retrieving the crucial missing records, a move that is likely to delay the investigation even further.
The publication reports that it was not clear who might have deleted the records from Anele Tembe’s cellphone as neither AKA nor her family knew her passcode.

A source who is close to the investigation said Anele Tembe’s cellphone was handed over to the family by a close ally after her death.
“The family asked AKA if he knew the passcode, but he told them he had no idea as she kept it secret.”
The mole said the family and the police later discovered that Anele Tembe’s phone had been wiped clean and the cellphone records deleted when they examined it during their investigation.
According to the paper’s source, who also did not want to be named for fear of victimization, confirmed some records were deleted but did not know if this happened before or after Anele Tembe’s cellphone was handed over to her family by AKA’s business partner and friend Jabu Nkabinde.
The deep throat said the cell was later handed over to the police by Anele Tembe’s family.
When the police asked them if they knew her passcode, they told them that they did not have it.
The police later asked AKA’s lawyers if he knew Anele Tembe’s passcode and he too told them that he did not know it.
“The investigating officer only asked his lawyer verbally to ask Kiernan if he knew her phone password as the father claims not to have it, yet they are missing bitchy comments in reference to DJ Zinhle from her social media that she made the day before her suicide.
“That being a confirmation that whoever was in possession of her phone deleted those comments a week after her funeral,” said the tipster.

He reiterated that Tembe’s bitchy comments she had made about Zinhle, who has a child with the rapper, had been deleted.
“Also, if they are certain her phone was wiped off, how did they gain access to it and delete the comment she had made on her IG the day before she died?” asked the source.
