The families of the miners found dead in Orkney, North West, last week will start the grim task of identifying their bodies on Monday.
The 20 bodies were found near a disused mine shaft in Orkney last week.
The cause of death is not clear yet.
North West Premier Job Mokgoro and Lesotho Consul General Selimo Thabane intend helping the families with the identification process after establishing that most of the deceased were from Lesotho. They were allegedly mining illegally.
EWN reported that at least one miner has been identified but the identity was not released.
City Press reported that a video was being analysed which could be of a person named "Mafifi" pleading for advice on how to bring bodies to the surface.
He says the deceased were "hit by some smoke".
Some of the miners had notes tucked into the wrappings their bodies were swaddled with, which could contain their identities.
"The first five decomposed bodies were found at about 7pm on Tuesday outside an old and unused ventilation mine shaft in Lawrence Park, Orkney," provincial police spokesperson Brigadier Sabata Mokgwabone said at the time.
"On Wednesday, 14 more bodies were found along Ariston Road and the railway line in Orkney. While still processing the scene, police received information that another body was discovered where the initial five bodies were found earlier, bringing the total to 20."
