13 killed as KZN church building collapses during Passover service | IOL News

Cape Town - Thirteen people died when their church building collapsed during a Passover service at the Pentecostal Church in Dlangubo on the KwaZulu-Natal north coast.

The cause of the collapse is believed to be the heavy rainfall which has plagued the region, according to Jonty Ndlazi from the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Disaster Management Centre . The details around the incident are still sketchy and it is not known at this point how many people were injured in the collapse.

Members of the disaster management team will accompany Cogta MEC Nomusa Dube-Ncube on a visit to the site of the tragedy in uMhlathuze Municipality on Good Friday morning. The municipality is located within the King Cetshwayo District of northern KZN. The team will assess the situation in order to devise a plan to deal with the tragedy and pay their respects to the families of the victims.

The DA in the province has sent their condolences to the bereaved families and urged "those who will be travelling to further away places for Good Friday service, to be vigilant on the road ensuring a safe return to their respective homes".* This is a developing story.
