Accident – death – Obituary News : Zambian Musician Nathan Mithi Commits Suicide Amidst Accusations of Infidelity by Wife

In a tragic turn of events, Zambian musician Nathan Mithi, a member of the prominent music group Ghetto Link, has taken his own life after accusing his wife, Sabby Phiri, of being unfaithful. Mithi, who was laid to rest on Thursday, December 14, 2023, left behind a heart-wrenching suicide note on his Facebook page, detailing the turmoil he experienced during his marriage.

The late musician expressed his deep love for his wife while also accusing her of infidelity, deception, and a desire for a luxurious lifestyle. He claimed to have caught her in the act of having sexual encounters with other men, including a young relative and their landlord. The anguish he felt from these experiences eventually led him to take his own life.

Mithi’s suicide note also mentioned that he had left behind five children, three of whom were his own, while unsure of the paternity of the other two. He advised his wife to enjoy her life and party, but warned her that her time would come eventually.

However, in response to her late husband’s accusations, Phiri published a post titled “Beyond the accusations: The unseen reality of my story” on Saturday, where she disagreed with his suicide note. She stated that throughout their marriage, she had endured spousal abuse, which remained hidden from the public eye. Phiri emphasized that her husband’s death was not a result of her alleged infidelity, but rather the overwhelming debt he accumulated, which led to his sleepless nights and inner turmoil.

Phiri revealed that she had been blackmailed into silence about the abuse she endured and was threatened with tarnishing her reputation. When she reached her breaking point and sought liberation from the cycle of torment, her late husband revealed the bombshell he had kept hidden for so long. She expressed her pain at being implicated in his tragic decision and urged the public to understand the complexities that plagued their relationship.

The grieving widow beseeched those sharing her late husband’s story to refrain from doing so, while also seeking empathy, understanding, and acknowledgment of the truth beyond the surface-level perceptions painted by external circumstances.

The untimely death of Nathan Mithi has sent shockwaves through the Zambian music industry and has sparked a national conversation about the importance of mental health and the need to address domestic abuse. As the investigation into his death continues, the country mourns the loss of a talented musician and hopes to prevent such tragedies from occurring in the future..
