“What Nathi Mthethwa Left Behind: The Two-Day Booking, the Scissors & a Secret Meeting”

New revelations into the death of former South African ambassador Nathi Mthethwa have deepened the mystery. He had originally booked a two-night stay (September 27–28) at the Hyatt in Paris weeks earlier, but postponed arrival to September 29 — the very day of his disappearance.Inside his room on the 22nd floor, investigators found a pair of scissors reportedly used to force open a secured window.There was no sign of a struggle and no clear evidence of third-party entry or exit, based on hotel CCTV checks.Earlier that day, Mthethwa had told his wife he was going to a meeting — but she said no such meeting existed in his diary. His final message to her expressed an apology and an intention to end his life.As the autopsy and investigations continue, many questions remain: Why the odd booking? Was the meeting real? And was his death indeed self-inflicted — or something more sinister?
