South Africa's ambassador to France found dead outside Paris hotel

South Africa's ambassador to France, Nkosinathi Emmanuel Mthethwa, has been found dead outside a high-rise hotel in Paris. 

The Paris prosecutor's office has launched an investigation into the ambassador's death.

The 58-year-old ambassador was reported missing by his wife on Monday after she received a disturbing message from him.

Mthethëa had booked a room on the 22nd floor of the Hyatt Regency hotel and the security window had been forced open, the prosecutor's office said.

A spokesperson for South Africa's foreign affairs department said they were aware of the prosecution reports concerning Mthethwa and would issue a statement as soon as there was official information.

The ambassador was South Africa's minister of arts and culture from 2014 to 2019, adding sport to his portfolio from 2019 to 2023.

Mthethwa was first appointed to the French embassy in February 2024 and was also South Africa's permanent delegate to UNESCO./CNA
