By Paul Nyath|A Bulawayo man has decided to take his life after failing to cope with the harsh economic conditions in the country.

44 year old Never Ndiweni was found hanging on a tree at Madamara Shopping Centre in Mzilikazi Suburb on Friday mid morning.

Family sources told ZimEye.com that the man committed suicide after failing to contain pressure from some members of the family over his failure to get a job and bring food home.

According to the family members this was not the first time that Ndiweni had attempted suicide.

“He has tried it on two previous incidents but all of them failed,” said the family member.

“At one time he tried to hang himself and on another consumed rat poison all of them failing but this time he was very lucky it succeeded,” he said.

Efforts to get a comment from nearby Barbourfields Police were unsuccessful.

Zimbabwe is currently wriggling in an economy with 95% unemployment with an average family surving on $1 per day.
