Two South Africans who lost relatives when a church hostel in Lagos collapsed have told a foreign media, BBC they intend to sue Nigerian evangelist TB Joshua.

The two men, who both lost sisters in the collapse, are appealing for more families to come together in bringing a case against the preacher. At least 115 people, including 84 South Africans, died when
the multi-storey building fell down earlier this month. The authorities say it had more floors than its foundation could hold.

In an interview with AFP, the South African High Commissioner to Nigeria, Lulu Mnguni, said revealed the number of South Africans that died in the Friday September 12th building collapse at the Synangogue church has risen to 84 and that 265 South Africans survived the incident.

“The number has risen from 67 to 84, with more bodies discovered on Thursday, September 18th. The number of South Africans who were in the church might be higher, as we believe that some people organized the trip themselves without using travel agents.

"There are 265 South African survivors. Initially, there were 96 injured South Africans, but now there are only 29 still in hospital, including a three-year-old,” Mr. Mnguni said
