The bodies of eight South Africans killed in a suicide bombing in Afghanistan a month ago, are finally being returned home.

Several memorial services have been held across the country but the families will now be able to lay their loved ones to rest.

The eight were killed on the 18th of last month when a suicide bomber drove a car loaded with explosives into their minibus, killing 12 people.

The attack was said to be in retaliation for an anti-Islamic film made in the United States.
