"My colleague is arguing that no Zulu man is jumping off a 22-storey building. It’s about to be a festival of conspiracy theories."

Responding to the theory was Sizwe Dhlomo, who confirmed the colleague's speculation:

"I mean, he’s not wrong."

And he is not the only one who saw gaps in the late politician's death. Many took to social media to weigh in on the former Sports Minister's passing, claiming there was more to it than what was being suggested.

How did social media react?

Online users agree with the theory, convinced that Nathi Mthethwa's death was far from suicide. Read their comments below:

WrongTurnNorth said:

"He is the head of a household, a Zulu man. His pride wouldn't let him kill himself in a foreign country. Jumping off a building is absurd; I refuse to believe it. He would have come home to RSA and shot himself. That's what a Zulu man would do."

thembelani_k wrote:

"I'm not Zulu, but I don't know any self-respecting Zulu man who would do that."

dumi_mkhabela speculated:

"Indeed. Most likely, he was pushed off the 22nd floor. Basically, he was murdered - most likely silenced."

JabuSitole wasn't convinced:

"A Zulu man, from KZN, jumping like that? How would he expect us to fetch his corpse? Come on, people."

mufasa2030 added:

"But we all know, there’s no way that was suicide."

Moss28858202 noted:

"Jumping is not for us people of colour. We prefer to take our lives via a gun, poison or a rope."

matinyarare responded:

"The jumping doesn’t make sense."
