All cemeteries and burials on Makotopong and Kalkfontein are of high significance and since they are structurally stable, the resources will require management or mitigation if impact cannot be avoided. A conservation buffer zone of at least
20m around the graves, as well as the fencing off of all cemeteries and graves on the farms Makotopong and Kalkfontein are recommended. However, should the graves or the proposed 20m buffer zone be impacted in any way by the planned activities, full grave relocations are recommended for these burials. This measure should be undertaken by a qualified archaeologist, and in accordance with relevant legislation and subject to any local and regional provisions and laws and by-laws pertaining to human remains. A full social consultation process should occur in conjunction with the mitigation of cemeteries and burials and a concerted effort must also be made to identify all buried individuals and to contact their relatives and descendants. Other legislative measures which may be of relevance include the Removal of Graves and Dead Bodies Ordinance (Ordinance no. 7 of 1925), the Human Tissues Act (Act no. 65 of 1983, as amended), the Ordinance on Excavations (Ordinance no. 12 of 1980) as well as any local and regional provisions, laws and by-laws that may be in place.
