ProposalDescription: 

PGS Heritage (Pty) Ltd, has been appointed by Modikwa Platinum Mine to conduct a Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey of a structure that possibly has a grave located underneath it.

Expanded_Motivation: 

In 2021 a member of the Malapane family approached the Modikwa Platinum Mine, stating that a possible grave was buried underneath the concrete surface of structure. A site visit was arranged, and the area was identified by a family member (Ms Maria Mahlodi Malapane) who used to stay in the area and indicated that the structure is located on top of her brother’s grave. According to Ms Malapane their family, used to reside at the location of the prosed grave but the family relocated from their home to make way for the mine and its associated activities and infrastructure. The stakeholder engagement process involved one site visit to identify the location of the possible grave and then the mine representatives met with the families again to have the appropriate documents signed and collected: please see Annexures for relevant documents. It is currently not certain what the status of the possible grave is, as the site has been disturbed and no visible signs marking the grave is visible. A GPR survey of the site is needed, to try to determine the location of the possible grave. The possible grave is located at the following location: • Portion of the farm Hendrikplaats 281 KT at GPS Coordinates S-24.61916667; E30.14805556 Burgersfort, Fetakgomo Tubatse Local Municipality and Sekhukhune District Municipality, Limpopo Province.
