The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “South Africa: Mother describes how she had to throw her baby from a fire sparked by riots” – below is their description.
The mother who was forced to throw her baby from a burning building spoke of the moment she had to put her daughter’s life before her own.
Naledi Manyoni said: “What was important was for my daughter was to be out of that situation. I couldn’t escape alone and leave her behind.”
“After throwing her I held my head in shock but they caught her.”
It was one of countless scenes that have left South Africans in shock after six days of looting and arson in Johannesburg and KwaZulu Natal.
Seventy people have died and more than 1000 have been arrested in the violence that began after former president Jacob Zuma was jailed for refusing to testify in to a corruption enquiry on Thursday.
