“The 24-year-old woman and her 7-month old baby died side-by-side.
“Her husband said they were having marriage problems,” said Percy Morokane, emergency management services spokesman.
He said the woman climbed to the top of the ten-storey building in central Johannesburg where she lived with her husband and child at about 8am on Friday and jumped.
“The husband said they were having marriage problems, but were happy.
“He said he didn’t think she would go this far. He is very traumatised,” Morokane said.
The husband and wife came to South Africa from Zimbabwe two years ago.
The woman was a student at Johannesburg University.
Police are investigating the incident.

Yo - this is getting hectic now. i guess there is nothing as painful and "love related pain" at times it seems as if it's the end of the world when you really love some1. it might not be the case here ...but please please ... read psalm 146. it talks about us we are not to love anyone more than we love God, be it husband - chery or parent or what. when you give away that love for God to a human being it's deadly as it's suppose to go to the one who won't fail you. when you give it to the one who will then the consequeces are deadly.
as much as we can deny - our maker made us a certain way - we can't hide from it ...
