Barely a month after 17 year old Mustafa Lule attempted suicide by jumping off one of Kampala’s tallest buildings, Mabirizi complex, another Ugandan has Thursday jumped off a building at Garden City mall.
The youngster seemingly in his early 20s survived although he sustained severe injuries on the left shoulder, the head and the back. He has been rushed to the hospital.
