ProposalDescription: 

This application is for test excavation of a pile of stones exposed during Geotechnical Survey at the Westgate Substation in Gauteng Province.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The suspected stone piles are located barely 3m from one of the derelict farm buildings which makes it highly unlikely to be a grave associated with the farmstead. However, we think there is need to confirm the status of the the stone curns through test excavation. This will allow Eskom to proceed with expanding of the Westgate Substation without any fear of encountering human remains (see attached HIA Report and Status Quo Report
