Twelve bodies were recovered on Sunday in addition to the two bodies recovered on Saturday, Johannesburg Emergency Services spokesman Robert Mulaudzi said.
Members of the congregation were participating in rituals along the river when a flash flood swept away several of the worshippers. The riverside services were being conducted near the populous Alexandra township, in eastern Johannesburg.
Some of the bodies, however, were found far downstream on the Jukskei, one of Johannesburg’s largest rivers.
Rescue operations were delayed on Monday due to heavy rains.
