ActionSA has slammed government for lack of action, but says it will help families get justice.
"Even up to today, no political party is interested, labour unions have distanced themselves away from this," said party leader Herman Mashaba.
"One thing I want to assure South Africans is that that container is going to be retrieved one day for as long some of us are still alive.
"With the families that are determined to get the remains of their family members so that they can have proper burials, that is not going to disappear."
