Deadly Easter as church collapse in South Africa

Deadly Easter as church collapse in South Africa

At least 13 people have died and many were injured when a wall collapsed in South Africa at the start of an Easter service at a Pentecostal church.

Emergency services said that 29 people were rushed to hospital after the collapse.

Most of the victims were reportedly women sleeping in the church.

An 11‑year‑old girl is thought to be among them.

The wall at the front of the Pentecostal Holiness Church collapsed at the start of what had been planned as a weekend‑long service to commemorate the Christian festival of Easter.

Today, a special prayer service was held in a large tent in front of the church.
