BOOK EXTRACT | Melinda Ferguson's ‘When Love Kills: The Tragic Tale of AKA and Anele’: "After Anele died, he was a mess"

VOICES

After Anele [Tembe] died, Kiernan [“AKA” Forbes] was a mess. For weeks, he holed up in his Bryanston home. It was as if he’d ingested a slow-acting poison. There were memories of Anele everywhere: the bed they’d slept in, the couch where they’d snuggled up to watch Netflix, the kitchen where Anele had once baked her signature brownies and where they’d joyfully danced in their socks during the first year of lockdown.
