Expanded_Motivation: 

The next-of-kin of the affected graves were contacted by Somkhele Mine and the need for the graves to be relocated has been explained to them. They consequently gave written permission (in the form of affidavits) for the graves to be relocated. There is five other graves in this area that will also be exhumed and relocated but which is not older than 60 years and therefore do not fall within the legislation framework for AMAFA Kwa-Zulu Natal. The excavated human remains from the grave will be relocated to the Kwa-Myeki area as requested by the family representatives. It must be mentioned that Somkhele Mine has been in continuous contact with the next-of-kin of the affected graves and they are fully aware of the relocation process.
