KZN police confirmed that they discovered the man's body on Wednesday after he allegedly took his own life, not far from where Cele's body was found.
"This heinous act is a grave injustice and a blatant violation of human dignity and morality. Premier Ntuli extended his heartfelt condolences to Nontobeko Cele’s family and reaffirmed the provincial government's commitment to creating a society free from gender-based violence," says Ntuli's spokesperson, Bongani Gina.
