VIDEO: Interview with parents of Nigerian tragedy victim
Journalist Nyambeni Mandiwana, spoke to the parents of Mpho Mbedzi who was one of the people who died when the Synagogue Church of All Nations building collapsed
POLOKWANE – A Sombre yet relieved atmosphere set the mood at the Pietersburg Provincial Hospital when the remains of 13 people who died in the Synagogue Church of All Nations building collapse were received by their loved ones during a ceremony on Monday.
As the 13 names were read out by the province’s director-general, Dr Phuthi Pheme, many of the bereaved mourned aloud on hearing their loved one’s names.
The 13 dead Limpopo residents were among the 81 South Africans who lost their lives on September 12.
Not all the bereaved families were able to gain closure, however, as the bodies of 11 people were yet to be brought home.
