The remains of South Africa's ambassador to France, Nathi Mthethwa, will be repatriated on Thursday.

The UN also condemned what it called a heavy-handed response by security forces.

At the commission, KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner, Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi implicated several top politicians and private business people in corrupt dealings with the SAPS.

Nathi Mthethwa's body was found a week ago after a fall from a hotel window.

The UN refugee chief said the humanitarian system was facing "political choices with disastrous financial implications".
