A 38 year old Zimbabwean man from Bulawayo has hanged himself to death with an electric cord in a Johannesburg flat after being dumped by his live in girlfriend.
The man whose identity has been made available to media is said to have been seen hanging from the balcony of the flat by a passer in the early hours of this morning.

Sources close to the deceased claim that the man was recently dumped by his live in girlfriend who they always quarrelled over a relationship the woman was involved in with another man.
According to the sources, the girlfriend who had been out of the man’s house for a while is said to have sneaked into the man’s apartment in his absence and took all her belongings and left to move in with the new lover. The man is said to have failed to stomach the departure of the girlfriend and quietly executed his suicide while his flat mates slept at night.
An official statement from the South African Police Services was yet to be issued at the time of this writing. Members of the family expressed shock at the man’s unexpected course of action. The man is suspected to be married and his wife living with their children in Zimbabwe.
