Police say it is going to be a mammoth task to clear the scene of the collapsed temple at Verulam, north of Durban.
At least five people died when the building collapsed.
This morning, KwaZulu-Natal Premier Thamsanqa Ntuli visited the site.
This as the fifth body was recovered from the debris.
He says they suspect that there may be more bodies buried under the rubble, as there is still no confirmation on how many people were at the site when the building collapsed.
On Friday, eleven people were rescued and taken to the hospital.
Meanwhile, there's been a commitment from the government as well and the rescuers that they'll stay at the scene until they are certain that there are no bodies that are still trapped underneath this rubble.
Let's now bring in Samantha Meyrick, spokesperson IPSS Medical Search & Rescue.
