The workers died when the container they were working in sank during an implosion in 2016. 

The party says it has engaged the Minister of Mineral and Petroleum Resources, Gwede Mantashe to allow the government to lead the process. 

ActionSA has given the minister 60 days to honour his promise of looking into the matter. 

ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba says they will proceed independently should the Minister fail to honour his promise within the given time. 

"I was in a meeting with Mantashe and I informed him about this process and how embarrassing this is going to become for the SA government, for something that private individual is doing with instead of the government.

And he assured me and he said to me that he is going to be attending to this. And we will engage ActionSA leader in Eastern Cape Province, Athol Trollip. Trollip sent a letter on Friday last week to remind him about this particular matter."
