They are launching a lawsuit against the church, its trustees and two construction companies for damages. 

A total of 116 people died, including 85 South Africans when the six-storey building crumbled.

Despite many fingers pointing at poor workmanship as the cause of the church’s collapse, the late TB Joshua maintained an aircraft flying too low over the building triggered the building's fall.
