Morgues in South Africa are running out of space as bodies of coronavirus victims continue piling up, public broadcaster SABC reports quoting the head of the National Funeral Practitioners Association.

Mr Hlengwa said that coffin supplies were low and some funerals had to be postponed for lack of burial space.
