After witnessing bizarre occurrences such as Thabo Bester’s elaborate fake death, some South Africans have expressed immense doubt and suspicion regarding the official story surrounding Ambassador Nathi Mthethwa’s tragic and untimely death.
Just as South Africans were digesting the Special Investigative Unit’s (SIU) brief on their inquest into the corruption at Tembisa Hospital, which exposed a syndicate that has looted over R2 billion, as well as General Khumalo’s exposure of some explosive texts between alleged kingpins Cat Matlala and Brown Mogotsi, news of Nathi Mthethwa quickly hit the public, and spread like wildfire.
The untimely passing of Ambassador Nathi Mthethwa is a moment of deep grief in which government and citizens stand beside the Mthethwa family.
Ambassador Mthethwa has served our nation in diverse capacities during a lifetime that has ended prematurely and traumatically.

While some mourn the life of a South African leader, others have turned into sleuths as they analyse the details surrounding the passing of South Africa’s ambassador to France. Nathi Mthethwa. According to AP News, the former Minister was found dead after he was reported missing by his wife following a concerning text from him.
After assessing the available information, some interesting conspiracy theories have come about, as internet users reveal that they do not believe this was a suicide, as reports suggest.
On one hand, some have expressed their belief that this untimely death, coming at the same time as the high-profile Madlanga Commission proceedings, is no coincidence, but rather a concerted effort to cover some damning information. There appears to be a strong feeling that perhaps Nathi’s death could have been motivated by the need to avoid testifying against certain individuals.
Is Nathi Mthethwa really dead or they trying to distract us from the Madlanga Commission

However, on the more sinister side, others seem to strongly believe that, similarly to the Gavin Watson theory, the former minister’s death is nothing but a performance for the public. These users express that the only way they will believe that he is really dead is if the body is made available for the public to view.
There’s no picture of police surrounding the hotel, no red tapes non whatsoever ππππ
ANC better get a good script writer it can’t be that expensive.. His security and delegates knew nothing only his wife πππ

Aiiiii I’m struggling to believe that Nathi Mthethwa died bathong, can we see cctv of what happened at that Hyatt hotel, if they say he’s really dead, can we have some DNA test to prove it, we can’t trust the ANC mafias, they’re trying to run away from prosecution π€πΎ pic.twitter.com/DEO5HCEje1
