La procureure de Paris, Laure Beccuau, a indiqu\u00e9 que l\u2019ambassadeur avait confi\u00e9 \u00e0 son \u00e9pouse son intention de mettre fin \u00e0 ses jours. En effet, lundi soir, peu apr\u00e8s 21 h 30, il lui avait envoy\u00e9 un message dans lequel il pr\u00e9sentait ses excuses et exprimait sa d\u00e9tresse. Une source proche du dossier a d\u00e9crit \u00e0 l\u2019AFP Nkosinathi Mthethwa comme une personne d\u00e9pressive qui aurait pu se suicider.<\/p>\n

Selon les premi\u00e8res constatations, le m\u00e9canisme de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 anti-ouverture de la fen\u00eatre de sa chambre, situ\u00e9e au 22e \u00e9tage, avait \u00e9t\u00e9 forc\u00e9 avec des ciseaux laiss\u00e9s sur place. Les enqu\u00eateurs n\u2019ont relev\u00e9 aucune trace de lutte ni de m\u00e9dicament ou de stup\u00e9fiant. Le parquet de Paris a ouvert une enqu\u00eate sur les causes de la mort, confi\u00e9e au 1er District de police judiciaire, afin de recueillir tous les \u00e9l\u00e9ments n\u00e9cessaires \u00e0 la compr\u00e9hension des faits.<\/p>\n

Nkosinathi Emmanuel Mthethwa \u00e9tait en poste \u00e0 l\u2019ambassade d\u2019Afrique du Sud en France depuis f\u00e9vrier 2024 et \u00e9tait \u00e9galement d\u00e9l\u00e9gu\u00e9 permanent de son pays aupr\u00e8s de l\u2019Unesco. Il avait \u00e9t\u00e9 ministre des Arts et de la Culture de 2014 \u00e0 2019, puis ministre des Sports, des Arts et de la Culture jusqu\u2019en 2023. Membre du Congr\u00e8s national africain (ANC), il avait particip\u00e9 \u00e0 la lutte contre l\u2019apartheid et avait \u00e9t\u00e9 arr\u00eat\u00e9 pendant l\u2019\u00e9tat d\u2019urgence en 1989.<\/p>\n

Le pr\u00e9sident sud-africain Cyril Ramaphosa a rendu hommage \u00e0 sa m\u00e9moire, soulignant qu\u2019il avait servi sa nation au cours d\u2019une vie qui s\u2019est termin\u00e9e de mani\u00e8re pr\u00e9matur\u00e9e et tragique. Le gouvernement sud-africain a \u00e9galement exprim\u00e9 sa “profonde tristesse” face \u00e0 cette disparition, qui touche non seulement le pays mais aussi la communaut\u00e9 diplomatique\u00a0internationale.<\/p>\n
