Earlier today, representatives of the Mpumalanga Council of Churches (MCC) visited the site and prayed with the affected families.
Bishop Gordon Mthembu, Head of the MCC, admitted to media that they are concerned about the emotional well-being of the families. They went to see the families earlier to pray, read the bible and to give them hope.
"We're reading from Psalm 37 where the Word says we must give trust and hope to the Lord because he is the only one who can do things that are beyond our ability," he said.
