A family caused chaos at Capitec Bank in Stanger earlier today when they took a deceased relative to allegedly claim a funeral policy, leading to a dramatic scene and temporary closure of the branch.
Nikesh Hooblall, the owner of Taurus Medical and Security, said he received a group WhatsApp message about a body left in the bank this morning. He arrived to find a commotion, with the family outside talking to officials and security cordoning off the bank. The deceased was in a body bag on the floor inside the bank. It seemed there was a dispute over a funeral policy.
According to a report on AdzVantage Stanger, the family had to provide proof of death and allegedly returned with the body. The incident drew a large crowd of onlookers.
