Australopithecus Afarensis were gatherers because they didn't have any tools to hunt, they just had arms to grab objects like children or food.

What fossil evidence can prove that australopithecus anamensis and australopithecus afarnsis were bipedial?

Fossils of the knee joint and pelvis of Australopithecus anamensis and Australopithecus afarensis show adaptations for bipedal locomotion, such as a valgus knee angle and a broader, shorter pelvis. Also, the position of the foramen magnum at the base of the skull suggests an upright posture. Lastly, footprints in volcanic ash at Laetoli in Tanzania show bipedal walking by Australopithecus afarensis.
