ProposalDescription: 

Our company has been appointed by Glencore South Africa (Pty) Ltd to affect the relocation of 58 graves located in a cemetery (TOP33) on the farm Boshmansfontein 12 IS, Mpumalanga. The cemeteries, which are affected by mining activities located in area at the following coordinates: 26° 3'6.81"S; 29°10'24.69"E

Expanded_Motivation: 

This cemetery is situated on the farm Boshmansfontein 12 IS near Ogies, Mpumalanga Province and contains 58 graves. The GPS Coordinates are 26° 3'6.81"S; 29°10'24.69"E. Currently these graves are located within an active mining pit and went unnoticed due to the overgrown vegetation and trees that surround them. Some of the graves are marked but there are no legible names on the graves. The cemetery was cleared with a bush cuter and the graves formally identified and numbered. Despite the placement of site notices and an exhaustive social consultation process, no persons have come forward with any further information about who the next of kin are or how to contact them. Therefore, despite our exhaustive attempts to identify and contact the family, we have no further information regarding these graves, including sex, age at death, date of death and relocation cemetery. As per best practice, it is proposed that these 58 graves be relocated to the closest municipal cemetery, which is Kromdraai Cemetery.
