The details of this cemetery and graves are as follows: • Cemetery NN1 Latitude: -25.018111 Longitude: 30.148306 This cemetery contains 1 grave located on the farm Mareesburg 8 JT, near Steelpoort, Limpopo Province (Addendum A). This grave is older than 60 years. The details of the person buried here can be found in the attached grave register (Addendum E). A permit for the relocation of this grave has already been obtained: • NN1A: The first grave that is included in this permit application is that of a stillborn baby, of which the date of death is unknown buried with the remains in the grave mentioned above. • NN1B: The second grave, a stone packed feature approximately 15m from NN1, was identified during a later site visit for the identification of various stone features. Through subsequent engagements with the families, the family representative Ms Mosehla identified the grave as that of her father and signed the necessary consent forms. • NN1C: Lastly a member of the families that used to reside on the farm pointed out a site of stone heaps, approximately 15m in the other direction of NN1. This feature could not be identified by any of the families that use to reside on the farm. The archaeologists that conducted the site visit believe the stone heaps are the remains of collapsed stonewalling from a kraal or homestead. This site will have to be test excavated to exclude the feature as being that of a grave. The graves will be relocated to another cemetery (AA104) on the farm Mareesburg 8 JT, as requested by the Mosehla family.
