Court rules funeral parlours can operate in townships DailyNewsSA
Durban - Indian and white owned funeral parlours can operate in townships and rural areas without the fear of being intimidated or threatened, following a ruling by the Equality Court in Durban on Thursday. In 2018, the National Funeral Parlours Association made an application in the Equality Court against businessmen Muzi Hlengwa, Nkosenatsha Shezi, Lungani Hlongwa, and the National Funeral Practitioners Association of South Africa .
The three businessmen subsequently withdrew from Nafupa, as it did not approve of banning Indian and white funeral parlours from operating in predominately black areas. In its ruling, the court ordered the respondents not to prevent members from the association from peacefully conducting their businesses and, in particular, preventing Indian and white-owned funeral businesses from holding funerals in black townships and villages.
The respondents were not to damage and/or threaten to cause damage to the goods of members of Nafupa and, in particular, those goods owned by Indian and white-owned funeral businesses.
