News24 reports that police are in the process of identifying two last bodies following the collapse of a construction site in George.
On Thursday, Western Cape police commissioner Lieutenant General Thembisile Patekile said they knew who the victims were, but were awaiting identity documentation to confirm their names. The collapse on 6 May left 34 people dead. Patekile added that some of the crime scene had been handed over to the Department of Labour and Employment for additional investigations. An independent investigation is also being carried out on behalf of the provincial government. On Wednesday, Premier Alan Winde said the investigation was gathering momentum, with the appointed engineers gathering documents and samples. The search and recovery operation was concluded last Friday, when the site was handed over to the police.
