BODIES REPATRIATION

The South African Government has appealed for families of the victims of the Nigerian tragedy to be patient - as they remain hopeful that all 85 bodies will be repatriated this weekend. Anxiety has intensified for the families after the Governor of the State of Lagos, Babtunda Raji Fashola, indicated that only 54 bodies have been positively identified and can be returned home. The South African Government says it has arranged a special flight to retrieve the remains, and that Special arrangements have been made for the next of kin to collect their family members' remains at Air Force Base Waterkloof.
