Witnesses take stand in Anele Tembe’s death inquest
He initially believed she was dead, but then noticed signs of life tried to help her.
Several witnesses have testified in the Cape Town Magistrate's Court regarding the death of 22-year-old Anele Tembe on April 11, 2021. One independent witness stated that he overheard an argument between a man and a woman shortly before Tembe's death. He described hearing the woman scream "leave me alone", "Get away from me", followed by a wailing sound and a loud bang.
Initially thinking the sound was a gunshot, the witness went outside and found Tembe on the ground. Not initially believing she was dead due to signs of life, he called emergency services.
