DurbanFlood: Bodies remain unclaimed at state morgues TheMercurySA
Durban - The KwaZulu-Natal Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs is appealing for residents to come forward and claim the bodies of their loved ones, which remain at mortuaries in the city.
"We realise it is a painful process to identify bodies of our loved ones but this also offers a form of closure and this is why we urge those families that have not yet done so to come forward. The government is doing all in its power to lighten the burden and assistance with burials is one such thing," she said.
