South Africa’s ambassador to France, Nkosinathi Emmanuel “Nathi” Mthethwa, was found dead outside the Hyatt Regency hotel in the west of Paris on Tuesday, according to the local prosecutor’s office.
Mthethwa was 58-years-old and had been serving as ambassador to France since his appointment in December 2023.
The Paris prosecutors’ office said Mthethwa had been reported missing by his wife on Monday evening after she received a text message from him that had worried her.
The prosecutor’s office said Mthethwa booked a room on the 22nd floor of the Hyatt Regency hotel in the 17th arrondissement of Paris and that a secured window had been forced open.
It said an investigation into what caused Mthethwa’s death was underway and that it would not preempt the outcome.
