Johannesburg - African National Congress senior party member Jackson Mthembu has posted a gut-wrenching tweet in which he reveals that his daughter has committed suicide.

"My eldest daughter, Khwezi Mthembu , last night committed suicide at our Pelican parliamentary village home in #Capetown. We are in deep pain. We don't know what led her to take her own life at such a tender age of 25 years," said Mthembu.
