Durban: The South African Funeral Practitioners Association (Safpa) says there is no need to panic over a possible shortage of caskets in KwaZulu-Natal as there is sufficient stock to meet the demand.
While there had been challenges over level 4 lockdown and the looting of caskets, in some instances during the riots two weeks ago, this did not amount to a crisis.
Safpa deputy president Ndabezinhle Ngcobo admitted that there was a shortage, but stressed that this was limited to Gauteng which had been hit hard by the third wave of Covid-19.
