They are both from Botshabelo and a post-mortem will be conducted on Thursday, according to Mvambi. He says there are two female bodies that still need to be identified by families…

“It is an appeal we want to make to the community. Please come to the Government Mortuary in Bloemfontein to help us identify your loved ones,” says Mvambi.

He says eight patients are still receiving care at the Pelonomi Hospital.

Four of these patients have been admitted to the Trauma Unit, one to the Orthopaedic Unit and one is receiving treatment in the High Care Unit. He says all these patients are currently in a critical but stable condition.
