They could be foreigners, what do you think?

results of open borders

Paupers funeral, just hope the bodies don't fall out like that incident that happened on the M1S

Just put your reporting straight foreigners who died in the country who can't be identified are a big concern it's oblivious finger prints untraceable

Those are bodies of undocumented immigrants

Kaloku we have unregistered people in our Country,they didn’t know this disaster is coming 🙄

Now it’s the time to utilise the graves they dug for us when covid started.

Results of allowing undocumented immigrants

Zama-Zamas, turf wars bound to intensify as mine resources in previously occupied mine deplete and they search for more.

Call the nigerian and Zimbabweqn embassy to come sort out their mess

Maybe rope in the human rights commission since they advocate for undocumented foreigners to live in SA illegally. They should also bury them.

Is it not illegal foreigners?

Illegal foreigners

Zimbabweans. Nigerians, lesotho, Pakistanians etc, etc. South Africa e imetswe struuu.

How long are bodies kept in morgues? Then I guess they have pauper funerals.

NemavholaIT Illegals

Foreigners

Obvious, they're not south africans

Make electricity with them 🤷🏾‍♂️

Foreigners, I suspect

Eh

cant they create a digital photographic database were people looking for loved ones can log in and search.people may not be able to travel all the mortuaries looking for loved ones

Throw the bodies over the Zim border.

Foreigners

Then these bodies need purpuras graves. But a file with their face, finger prints and DNA must be logged with the death certificate.

Bury them

Makwerekwere do not have identity.

The fingerprint scan should reveal the identity of the deceased in the DHA database, in a normal working country.

Akubona abangapha nje?

The department should be the last to be concerned given the high number of undocumented foreigners that are swamping the province and the country. Poppy Ramathuba was lambasted for this. Can the department raise this issue with the health body that 'reprimanded' her?

Illegal emigrants.

Its undocumented foreign nationals.
