Tembe died in April 2021, just after being in the company of the late multi-award-winning rapper Kiernan Forbes, known as AKA.
Tembe’s death was thought to be a suicide after she fell from a hotel in Cape Town, but videos emerged online showing the couple in a heated argument.
Cele was speaking to parliament’s ad-hoc committee investigating claims of corruption in the criminal justice system.
