Eight people were killed in a fire at the facility last week.


A memorial service will be held for the victims on the 30th of July, while a funeral is being organised by eThekwini Municpality.


Social Development's Ncumisa Ndelu says they're still engaging with the families.


"As you are aware eThekwini Municipality has offered to assist with the funerals. Government cannot just proceed with the funeral. We need to consider the families in that process. The memorial service will be lead by the centre itself" she said.


Meanwhile, you can drop off items for the centre at East Coast Radio House today until 6 this evening.
