Bheki Cele Questions Nathi Mthethwa’s Death CircumstancesBheki Cele has expressed suspicions about the circumstances surrounding Nathi Mthethwa’s death, citing inconsistencies in the initial reports. Speaking at a memorial service, Cele questioned the official narrative, highlighting discrepancies in the story.
Key Points Raised by Cele- Inconsistencies in Phone Location: Cele pointed out that the initial report stated Mthethwa’s phone was found near the Bois de Boulogne in Paris, but the story has since changed to the phones being found at the hotel.
Cele expressed concerns about the South African government’s decision to limit the investigation team to one person, who is only allowed to receive reports and not conduct an independent investigation.
Potential Cover-Up: Cele suggested that the French authorities might be hiding something, citing the restrictions on the investigation.
Cele’s Statement Cele emphasized that his views are his personal opinion and not those of the ANC. He urged for a thorough investigation into Mthethwa’s death, questioning the circumstances surrounding the ambassador’s passing.
The ANC has not officially commented on Cele’s statements, but the party’s leadership may face pressure to ensure a transparent investigation into Mthethwa’s death
The South African government has sent a team to assist in the investigation, but the scope of their involvement remains limited. French authorities are continuing their investigation, with President Cyril Ramaphosa expected to deliver a eulogy at Mthethwa’s funeral
