South Africa’s Ambassador to France Found Dead in Paris

The South African ambassador to France, Emmanuel Nkosinathi Mthethwa, also known as Nathi Mthethwa, was discovered deceased on Tuesday morning at the base of a luxury hotel tower in western Paris, as confirmed by a French prosecutor. His tragic fate followed a worrying incident when the 58-year-old ambassador had been reported missing the night before, sparked by a distressing message sent to his wife. In the message, he apologized and indicated his intention to take his own life.
