ProposalDescription: 

Exhumation and relocation of grave that is 60 years or older - Poppy Coetzee grave, Steenkoolspruit 18 IS, Atcom Mine-Impunzi Complex, near Kriel, Mpumalanga

Expanded_Motivation: 

The grave was discovered during construction of a haul road and is located within the footprint of the mining activities of Glencore at the Impunzi/Atcom mine. The decision was made to halt all construction activities until such time that a full grave relocation process had been undertaken, including a social consultation process. Please note: PGS Heritage applied for and obtained a rescue exhumation permit in 2011/12. However, the grave was not exhumed at that time, for various reasons, including the changing of mining plans (see cover letter). The grave itself does not contain any information which can be used to provide a date for it. As is mentioned in more detail below, a member of the Du Toit family, who used to reside in the nearby farmhouse, was located during the social consultation process. Ms. Bessie du Toit indicated that as long as she can remember the grave had always been there. As she is 77 years old, the grave likely dates to before 1932.
