The National Heritage Resources Act (25 of 1999) and the Human Tissues Act (65 of 1983) protect graves older than 60 years but younger than 100 years. Graves younger than 60 years, however, are protected by the Human Tissue Act (65 of 1983) and falls under Section 2 (1) of the Removal of Graves and Dead Bodies Ordinance (Ordinance no. 7 of 1925). The exhumation of graves falls under the jurisdiction of the National Department of Health as well as the relevant Provincial Department of Health. Exhumation permission must also be obtained from the relevant local or regional council where the grave is located, as well as from the relevant regional and local council to where the grave will be located to.
