When a family went to visit their loved one at Wallacedene Cemetery they found the grave had been dug up and the coffin damaged.
“I won’t lie and say we are okay, Everything we had set up was gone and strewn about. It was terrible. We don’t have a lot at home, but we did our best to give my husband a dignified burial.
Dirkse’s husband, Moses Arendse, was 57 when he died last month of natural causes. He was survived by Dirkse, their three children, and four grandchildren. In response, Mayco Member for Community Services and Health Zahid Badroodien said that although Wallacedene Cemetery was not yet full, the digging of new graves next to existing graves was a usual occurrence that for the most part did not cause disarray of existing graves.
