ProposalDescription: 

The proposed grave relocation process of Wolverfontein 471 JS/ Kwatokonya 1 and 2 Graves at Seriti Power, within Steve Tshwete Local Municipality, Mpumalanga Province.

Expanded_Motivation: 

Graves and burial grounds identified within South32 South Africa Coal Holdings (SAEC)’s Ifalethu Colliery expansion Project. Ifalethu Colliery is located south of Middelburg within the Steve Tshwete Local Municipality of Mpumalanga Province, South Africa. It is located approximately 120 km east of Johannesburg and 15km to 20km the south of the town of Middleburg. Four burial sites were identified within the mining expansion site on the farm Wolvefontein 471JS in Steve Tshwete Local Municipality of Mpumalanga Province. Mafu’s Funeral Home, in collaboration with Sativa Heritage, was retained by South32 to undertake Phase 2 heritage mitigation study for the burial grounds and graves recorded within the footprint of the proposed mining expansion. Sativatec archaeologists and heritage specialists conducted field survey to assess four burial sites affected by the proposed mining expansion. The study confirmed that only two of the four burial sites will be directly affected by the proposed coal mining expansion. A grave relocation exercise was conducted for graves younger than 60 years however grave custodians for the graves older than 60 years have been identified and consented to the proposed grave relocation exercise.
