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."

"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."
