Nathi Mthethwa, the late Ambassador to France, died after falling from the 22nd floor of a hotel in Paris, France last month.
At his special official funeral held in KwaMbonambi, KwaZulu-Natal, relatives and friends paid tribute to a man who was cultured, kind, nurturing and courageous.
"I cannot ask God why for love this great can never be explained nor measured by time."
His widow, Philisiwe Mthethwa, was too emotional to speak in public, but a relative read out her farewell message, describing Nathi as a family man who nurtured his loved ones.
