The results of a forensic identification into the deadly explosion at the Rheinmetall Denel Munition (RDM) munitions factory in Cape Town nine days ago will be released later this week.

The management of RDM hosted a lunch on Wednesday for the families affected by the explosion which claimed the lives of eight employees on September 3.

"We can confirm that the results of the forensic identification will be concluded this week and we will release that information, after consultation with the families, during the course of the day this Friday,” said RDM CEO Norbert Schulze in a statement.

Minister of Public Enterprises, Pravin Gordhan, and the Chairman of the Rheinmetall Group, Armin Papperger, were present at the lunch to engage with the families and offer further support.

Also in attendance were Denel Group Acting CEO Mike Kgobe, Denel Board Member Thami Magazi, as well as Department of Public Enterprises Acting Director-General Makgola Makololo.

"Today’s lunch forms part of a series of engagements with the families, RDM staff and the greater community," the company said in a statement.
