The employer must return the bodies back to their own different countries. We are not surprised that the building has collapsed. Foreign nationals are employed every where in South Africa. Their own different countries must help the employer to send the bodies home.

Don’t worry anc is going to pay and eff to assist our brothers and sisters they will pay full and the families at home

I am confused, if it is the government's responsibility to protect our borders, why is there an expectation of private capital to be utilized to do damage control?

[@elizabethandrsu369]

I don't find this good .Who is responsible for the death of the people.? Must SouthAfricaGovernment pay now for the deaths of people?This is what some parties say , people must be legal in the country. Why cant the company who employed the people see to this incident.? People must be legal in the country and pay tax and insurances sothat cases like this can be helped. Why must the Human beings taken as nothing and why are they allowing themselves to be used by the employers as cheap labour (.Legal documented is the best solution in every country of the World. This is not discimination but to save lives in such cases.What now? ( Condolences to the families Nevertheless.).

Who can understand all in power, they read stuff wrote by some one els to articulate things they dont even understand, if you know something, youd better understand what your talking about.?? understanding is the Essence. Are you earnig points for the Palestine around your neck, you speak of being an africain, yet you are concerned about other nations, your brothers around you suffers at your hand. Tippical !??
