PGS Heritage (Pty) Ltd was appointed by Netrac Investments No62 (Pty) Ltd to effect the relocation of approximately 68 graves located in an informal burial ground in Kudube Unit 4, Hammanskraal, Gauteng Province.Six graves have been confirmed as being unknown, while the date of four graves is not currently known by the next-of-kin. Thirty-six graves are currently unclaimed and the date therefore unknown. The unknown graves will be relocated to the closest municipal cemetery since no next-of-kin for the graves could be located. In this case, the graves will be relocated to Honingnestkrans Cemetery. The graves identified by the next-of-kin will be relocated to the cemeteries as per their request. The burial ground will not be impacted by any construction, the property is being sold and as a part of the buyer's contract, the graves need to be relocated before being sold. It is unclear what the new landowners plan to do with the property. Mosaic Funeral Group will be responsible for the handling and reburial of the exhumed human remains.
This permit is allocated for the exhumation and relocation of graves that are protected in terms of section 36(3) of the National Heritage Resources Act 25 of 1999 and the following conditions must be adhered to.
