🚨 Breaking News: Former Minister Nathi Mthethwa Commits Suicide After Corruption Allegations! 🚨
South Africa mourns as former Minister and Ambassador to France, Nathi Mthethwa, takes his own life in Paris after being implicated in corruption scandals by General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi and General Dumisani Khumalo. This true story documentary explores the tragic downfall of a once-powerful figure.
Nathi Mthethwa, a veteran of the ANC and former Minister of Police, Arts, Sports, and Culture, was found dead at the Hyatt Regency Paris Étoile on 30 September 2025. His wife, Philisiwe Buthelezi, had alerted authorities after receiving a troubling message indicating his intent to end his life.
This latest news comes after explosive testimony from General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi at the Madlanga Commission, accusing Mthethwa of pressuring him to reinstate Richard Mdluli, a disgraced intelligence chief, and of being linked to the "Big Five" cartel.
General Dumisani Khumalo's revelations about the "Big Five" cartel, involved in drug trafficking, contract killings, and fraud, implicated Mthethwa in a web of corruption and state capture.
The documentary delves into Mthethwa's career, from his early days as an anti-apartheid activist to his rise through the ranks of the ANC and his controversial tenure as Police Minister, marred by the Marikana massacre.
The Zondo Commission revealed Mthethwa's alleged involvement with Richard Mdluli, including the illicit funding of a boundary wall around his residence and the purchase of a Mercedes.
Major-General Johan Booysen testified about Mthethwa's alleged interference in investigations and his pressure to reinstate Mdluli, hindering anti-corruption efforts.
The documentary also examines the controversies surrounding Mthethwa's tenure as Minister of Arts, Sports, and Culture, including the infamous R22 million national flag project.
As Ambassador to France, Mthethwa faced increasing pressure as the corruption allegations mounted, leading to his tragic end.
This documentary raises critical questions about the human cost of corruption, the burden of power, and the legacy of a fallen hero.
