Health Minister Joe Phaahla is next to visit the site of the building collapse in George. Today's inspection comes after his Labour counterpart Thulas Nxesi was there. Meanwhile, the relatives of the workers who have been affected by the disaster say they need more clarity about their loved ones. Some say they have not been informed whether they are still trapped, deceased or in hospital. The number of those who were on site during the collapse on Monday has been revised up from 75 to 81, with 44 people still unaccounted for and nine confirmed deceased.
