Ntsiki Mazwai questions Nathi Mthethwa’s death
Activist and poet Ntsiki Mazwai has sparked concern following her suggestion that the circumstances surrounding the recent death of Nathi Mthethwa may be more complex than initially believed.
Mthethwa, who served as the former Minister of Police and most recently as South Africa’s Ambassador to France, passed away not long ago, leaving the public in disbelief.
In her remarks, Mazwai implied that there may have been “foul play” associated with his demise, emphasizing the timing of his death.
She highlighted that Mthethwa was listed as a witness expected to provide testimony before Parliament’s Ad Hoc Committee that is looking into Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi’s allegations of political interference within the justice system.
On her X (formerly Twitter) account on September 30, 2025, Mazwai posted the list of witnesses and conveyed her concerns regarding the peculiar timing, prompting lively discussions online.
The reactions to her post were significant, with numerous South Africans supporting her concerns.
One user endorsed her perspective, commenting, “Where there’s smoke…” while others questioned whether Mazwai was merely stirring unnecessary rumors.
The fallout from Mthethwa’s death continues, with Mazwai’s provocative comments further fueling the ongoing debate.
