SA remains home from Nigeria by the weekend


The Minister in the Presidency, Jeff Radebe has announced that the remains of the 85 people from South Africa, who died when a church building collapsed in Nigeria would be repatriated at the weekend.

Radebe, the special envoy to Nigeria, was speaking at a media briefing in Lagos on Tuesday evening.

A guest house, belonging to the Synagogue Church Of All Nations in the capital, headed by preacher TB Joshua, collapsed on September 12, killing 116 people, including 81 South Africans, as well as three Zimbabweans and one Democratic Republic of Congo national using South African travel papers.

Radebe said if everything goes well, they should be able to repatriate the remains on Saturday in order to arrive in South Africa on Sunday.
