The National Funeral Practitioners Association of South Africa has promised drastic action should the city not provide new graves or fail to exhume graves older than 100 years.
Durban - THE National Funeral Practitioners Association of South Africa has promised drastic action should the city not provide new graves or fail to exhume graves older than 100 years.
Hlengwa said recently that Nafupa argued with the city’s Parks and Recreation unit, as it had asked them to encourage people to cremate instead. Municipality spokesperson Msawakhe Mayisela said the move was an effort to address the shortage of burial space in the city.“Close to a third of them are no longer operational. This poses a huge challenge for the city and, as such, there was an urgent need to come up with burial alternatives,” he said .
