- The Western Cape Forensic Pathology Service on Monday said the bodies recovered most recently from the George building collapse site were in a state of decomposition.
During a media briefing, Floyd Herwels, the assistant director at the forensic pathology service in George, said they faced challenges with visual identification and relied on scientific methods such as fingerprinting and DNA matching.

It doesn't matter where they come from they are human and were doing work to put food on the table.
well it kinda matters..esp in a case like this
@@MrModikoe they are human beings...thats all that matters....other petty things are irrelevant...
Man that's horror.
Condolences to all those who have lost their loved ones 🙏 😔 😢.
😭 God's grace and peace to everyone helping on that site🤗🙏
The company should be able to account for who was on the site on the day of the collapse, who are they? and where they are from? as well as have next of kin contact details. But because we are dealling with mafia's who refuse to do things by the book to cut costs we have this situation right now. Very tragic.
A terrible tragedy...😢
Oh Father have mercy on the families that lost their loved ones. May you be their advicate so they sre not cheated and bullied. May the st least get proper care for the trauma and compensation to bury their loved ones with dignity. This is so sad and heartbreaking. No one deserves to die like that
Sincere condolences to all 😢
keep searching
This is what happens when you deliberately ignore qualified personnel and hire incompetence to cut costs.
@@Leslie54272 Don't be stupid. There are many unemployed construction workers with the necessary skills. You guys are just greedy and try to boycott capable south africans out of spite.
@@Leslie54272 qualified personnel were ignored...
@@Leslie54272 Thats pure foolishness. Listen to yourself. Why would a qualified professional turn down an opportunity to make money? You guys just want modern day slavery hence y'all fight tooth and nail for these illegal migrants.
And thats the taste of my own political party not the ANC goedkoop koop is duur koop VERY SAD
It’s important to note that most of the people working on site were foreigners. May their souls rest in peace 🙏🏼 we know that everyone is trying to make means to feed their families during these tough times. However, these so-called qualified individuals & companies deliberately hire foreigners as these individuals probably are not legal in the country & are desperate so they’d be willing to settle for lower wages than what a legal, qualified South African would.
I blame nobody else but the contracting companies who simply want to exploit the people who work the hardest, while they sit back & relax with fat pockets!! These people work extremely hard in an effort to survive & provide for their families & now they’ve lost their lives! All for what? The bare minimum!
Money is not the root of all evil, it’s the LOVE of money that is! I pray that God deals with each & every crooked individual, not only in this case but the 100s of cases in this country where the exact same happens!!
Such a heartbreaking story. RIP to all.
Praying for all the families whose lost loved ones, for those still under the rubble for a supernatural miracle for more lives to be saved for the rescue team for energy and strength and emotionally and physically and for wisdom all involved and justice for all involved.
Sincere condolences to the families
😢 I pray for the families.
Thank you. I am sorry, you are now busy with the sad and very emotional side of the rescue. God bless you all. ❤
What a tragic story 😢😢
😢😢
Who is responsible for this... I still haven't heard who the developer is.
16.1 , 16.2 are definitely going to jail.
Not if the 16.1 was misinformed about the sites status. Then it's just the 16.2
I am glad that i am not the contractor or builder of this building. God have mercy on there souls🙏
Hire proper and qualified people to do the work and inspect the work. This should be the country's lesson. No mlre foreign employment in this country. UK and USA is waiting for them
LOL....have you done an investigation to check the cause of this? Do you know where the fault was? Is the investigation report out? Your dislike of foreigners is irrational. Anything goes wrong its foreigners...without even waiting for a Professional Investigative report to be released...you are now blaming the deceased people....
Do you know that they are South Africans who are still trapped in that building,including students 🤔,,,
@@mimismile5948 I live close that town. I don't know anything about students been trapped in a constructive building
@@mimismile5948 how many South Africans vs Foreign nationals ?Dont try to be smart here .We follow the news .
Why did it collapse?
Looks like failure of temporary support... 1. the building fell from inside into itself, and 2. construction was still in progress.
There's no volume it's quite
Turn up ur volume
ths is not politics, but DA appointees must account for this
If it was 3 billionaires, the whole world can be stopped turning to get them out in 1 day. Especially since we know where they are... right there.
This keeps reminding me of 9/11
Dis n week dat die mense nog nie gevind is Nie By die tyd is Hul Almal dood geen suurstof water kos Dalk vermink met Groot klippe stene op hul Kan net bid Vir die arme families en vriende skande week steeds soek Hul Hou Aan tot Almal gevind is dis mense soos ons wat daar is nie honde nie ASB Dankie Aan Elk wat Hul bes probeer 😢😢😢los In GOD se Hande 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I still cannot believe it took them more thn 1 week to remove tht building while knowing thr are people who might be alive and bodies can decompose 😢
Its rubble , its diffucult to remove its scaffolding , bricks , boulders and cement , its impossible to just put in front end loaders its got to be broken down, i think these people done more then their best. Concentrate on the firm who built the place and not the rescuers
Kindly note that it will be good to do some homework on issues like this before commenting. It will help one to get a better understanding of the bigger picture.
Like the other commenter said. Its not just bricks. It is layers and layers of concrete meshed with steel and equipment all fused together. Also they are being careful not to harm any persons still alive or further maiming the bodies
Why didn't you go and remove all the rubble yourself in minutes if you are too clever than the ones working there all day and night
