ProposalDescription: 

The Gamagara Local Municipality (Gamagara Municipality) proposes to develop additional space for graves in the town of Kathu.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The existing Kathu Cemetery is located approximately 3.5 km north-east of central Kathu on the remaining extent of the farm Uitkoms 463 (immediately East of the N14 road), and falls within the Gamagara Municipality and John Taolo Gaetsewe District Municipality, in the Northern Cape. The cemetery is nearing capacity and thus additional space is necessary due to the rapid expansion of the town of Kathu which is partly due to the resettlement of the Dingleton residents as a result of the expansion of the Sishen Iron Ore Mine.Due to the existing Kathu Cemetery being located in the protected Kathu Forest, extending the cemetery on the farm Uitkomst 463 is not possible. An alternative location has been has been proposed and is the only feasible alternative for the new cemetery. The best viable alternative is to establish a new cemetery on the remaining extent of the farm Lylyveld 545, approximately 13 km south of central Kathu. The new Kathu Cemetery will be approximately 5 hectares (ha) in extent on land owned by the SIOC. The land for the new cemetery will be transferred to the Gamagara Municipality through a land swap agreement as part of the Dingleton Resettlement project.
