Preparations are complete for SA Ambassador Nathi Mthethwa’s official Category 2 funeral in Dondotha.
South Africa will bid farewell to its Ambassador to France, Nathi Mthethwa, today. The official state funeral is expected to start at 9 am at the Siyabonga Sangweni Sports Complex in Dondotha.
The late ambassador died in Paris last week. His body was repatriated on Friday and transported to a mortuary in Empangeni before being taken to the Mthethwa homestead.
A night vigil was held, where relatives, friends, and community members gathered to pay their last respects. The family, led by the Nazareth Baptist Church, held a cleansing ceremony outside the homestead before the remains were allowed to enter.
