South Africa still awaiting final French report on Nathi Mthethwa’s death
Acting Police Minister Firoz Cachalia says South Africa has not received a formal final report from the French investigation into former Police minister and ambassador Nathi Mthethwa’s death in Paris.
A year has passed since South African Ambassador Emmanuel Nathi Mthethwa tragically fell from the 22nd floor of a Paris hotel, leaving many questions unanswered. French investigators concluded his death was a suicide, but Mthethwa's family remains unconvinced, demanding a full inquiry. South African investigators have not been involved in the French investigation, leaving them to wait for a final report.
Mthethwa's death comes just days after top police officials accused him of political meddling in high-level cases. The timing of his death and his allegations have raised suspicions, but South African officials have not received a conclusive French report. A significant figure in the Madlanga Commission investigation into political meddling in the police is no longer available to share his story.
International experts question the South African government's lack of action in securing the report and the involvement of their own investigators in the French case.
