Durban – An Umkomaas family say they are devastated and furious after a funeral parlour delivered the wrong body to their father’s funeral service.
The family of Robert Mthethwa said that he had died at GJ Crookes hospital due to natural causes on January 9.
However, it was revealed that Mthethwa had tested positive for Covid-19.
Due to the mortuary operating at full capacity and the 75-year-old being a Ncanda Funerals member, his body was stored in the funeral parlour’s mortuary.
Mthethwa’s eldest daughter, Khethiwe Mpanza, said arrangements were made for the burial of her father on Thursday, January 14, but due to the funeral parlour being fully booked, the funeral was rescheduled for the following day.
