  • They had six children and unfortunately lost their 25-year-old daughter to suicide on March 20, 2019. 
  • Khwezi Mthembu committed suicide at her family’s Pelican parliamentary village home in Cape Town.
  • Also read: Simon Harry, the Nigerian statistician general who was appointed just seven months ago, died Wednesday, the national bureau of statistics announced. 

Mthembu’s cousin, Artwel Mthembu: “She was not well for the last couple of weeks. She lost her life in hospital. To open up the wounds, we lost Jackson last year.”

Thembi’s death comes a little over a year after the death of her husband.
