Forbes Family Distance Themselves From Upcoming Book About AKA & Anele

Last week, we reported that a book “detailing the tragic love story of AKA and Anele Tembe” would be published by seasoned journalist, Melinda Ferguson this week. The Forbes family just released a statement distancing themselves from the book. 

Read their statement below: 

"We are not in any way associated with Melinda Ferguson’s book and we do not endorse it. In the same breath we distance ourselves from the contents of the book.

When Melinda reached out to us, we respectfully and rightfully declined to contribute to her book.

At this stage we cannot give any further comment on the book as we are unaware of its contents. We do however find the intended publication of the book and the timing distasteful and opportunistic."
