He visited the site today and met with family members of those still missing.
“We will be looking at it going forward especially from the sides of the government, specifically the South African Police. Our job is to investigate matters and come with the answers or the answers that we believe are relevant. Even if you don’t find your loved ones still alive but to know what happened, that will the job of the government.”
Thirty-three people are still unaccounted for.
