The Big 5 Boss: Corrupt Nathi Mthethwa Commits Suicide After Being Exposed by Mkhwanazi & Khumalo

In a shocking turn amid South Africa's Madlanga Commission probe into police corruption, former Police Minister and Ambassador Nathi Mthethwa—allegedly tied to the infamous Big 5 crime syndicate—has taken his own life in Paris. Just days after KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi exposed Mthethwa's "worst political interference" in shielding corrupt intelligence boss Richard Mdluli, and as Crime Intelligence head Lt-Gen Dumisani Khumalo revealed syndicate infiltration via leaked WhatsApp chats, Mthethwa plunged from the 22nd floor of the Hyatt Regency Hotel. French authorities are investigating, but whispers of foul play swirl as the nation grapples with deep-rooted graft in its halls of power. A tragic end to a tainted legacy—or a silenced truth?
