While the family has been mum about the cause of her death, the opening of the inquest brings to light that Joemat-Pettersson possibly did not die from natural causes. In a short statement, Brig Athlenda Mathe said: “An inquest docket has been registered and is under investigation. [An] autopsy report has been finalised, we are awaiting a final report from department of health on the cause of death.”
The former minister died two weeks ago amid claims she was one of three ANC MPs who solicited a bribe from suspended public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane’s husband.
