“This is to ensure that all graves that are over 10 years old are leased by the owners.”
The eThekwini municipality plans to reuse unclaimed graves if family grave leases are not renewed and unclaimed graves are not claimed across the city.
“eThekwini municipality is appealing to the public to renew their family graves leases and to claim all unclaimed family graves across the city. This is to ensure that all graves that are over 10 years old are leased by the owners. If not, the municipality reserves the right to reuse all unclaimed graves,” he said.
“The public has four months commencing from March 1 2020 up to June 30 2020 to come to lease, claim or renew lease agreements of graves.” “The parks, recreation and culture unit is running short of burial space as there are only nine active cemeteries currently and four of them will be in full capacity by end of 2020,” Mayisela said.“Alternate solutions had to be sought as the population of Durban is increasing rapidly . Coupled with the high mortality rate, practical solutions are needed. eThekwini municipal tariff permits the PRC to reuse graves older than 10 years.
