Netcare 911's Chris Botha says the man died on the scene, while the guard sustained critical injuries.


"They must have slipped and fell, about 12 metres high - landing onto a concrete floor. The security guard, however, was in a very critical condition. Paramedics worked on him at the scene, and stabilised him, and then transported him to a nearby hospital," she said.


Police are investigating.
