My mother brought this plant home intending to grow it and try the fruit, which are supposedly Natal cherries. But I'm not sure if it's edible; the leaves look a bit rounder than the Natal cherries described on Wikipedia.

The paired leaves with a spine at the tip are in line with the above’s description.
Examples of natal cherry with such rounded leaves do exists; below is a picture of the such:
