Nearly R100-million has been paid out to those affected.
SERI's director, Nomzamo Zondo, says the state must pay more money to individuals.
“The damage is suffered by the individual. Of course, they’re part of the family unit," she said.
"But even in terms of the law, we’ve chosen to sue them. In terms of the legal system, the claims for emotional shock are always paid to an individual. We have people who suffered miscarriages”
