Getting DNA results for 62 people who were burned beyond recognition when a fire broke out in a building in Marshalltown, Johannesburg might not be an easy or quick journey for their relatives.
Pathology expert Thembalethu Mpahlaza has revealed that only 12 of the 74 bodies of Thursday's Joburg CBD fire were identifiable while the rest were burnt beyond recognition.
The Gauteng Department of Health said all the recovered bodies were transferred to the Diepkloof Mortuary in Soweto, adding that only 12 of them are identifiable.
