The funeral of the Xaba family in Soweto, who tragically lost three members including a one-year-old child after their double-storey home collapsed, is taking place today.
Three others trapped beneath the rubble were rescued and rushed to hospital.
Authorities say the family occupied the property illegally, adding that it was unfit for human habitat.
For more on this, we cross live to SABC News reporter Mbalenhle Mthethwa, who is covering the funeral for us in Soweto.
