But how will banning burials on Sundays help in solving their problem. The problem is about a shortage of burial space. We are gradually witnessing our country been re-colonised not by Britain and America, but by our own Africans.

Fu@#K! fu@#k! fu@#k! fu@#k! everyone who agrees with this Swart thing. Where in Africa did you ever hear about recylcing graves. People are grieving and others cant even afford to bury their love one and now you want to fine them. Again repeat again FFFFFFFFF@#k! Ethekwini Municipality. Crimation Im not against but "IT IS JUST NOT OUR CULTURE" meaning Africans. So next time when they are bored and thinking of making money they must just "STAY AWAY FROM OUR GRAVES" Ngiyaphahla mina and now they want to recycle. Fu@#st@k

the proposals included the banning of burials on Sunday, use of biodegradable coffins, recycling of graves, standardisation of tombstones and imposing a fine on late comers.

The municipality has proposed that families of corteges that arrive late at cemeteries should be fined R1,000.

Phew! Is this the democracy that we fought for??????

I dont have a problem with recycling of graves but restricting burials to certain day????? Its not ayoba and the fines??????? Hai ko nzima........ next they will be telling us about burial "quotas" per family per annum...

Thank God I want to be cremated and I stay in Jozi....

Mzimela said in African tradition a persons' grave a "place of rest that should never be interfered with after the burial".

So why do they keep on digging up the graves of ex terrorists and re-burying them elsewhere?

Blacks love to use the "African traditions" excuse when it suits them - just like they love to use the race card!

@HollaBaby

Witblitz makes a valid point when He/she asks why people are dug up and reburied if it is against African tradition.

It does appear that some 'traditions' are changed when it suits the occasion or people making the change(s)
Why is that?

Christo Swart and his allies are out of their minds. how do you justify burying 2 people in one grave? What if we want to go and do ancestral worship? what if they fight? what kind of nonsense is that? what has become of us? Maybe we should consider land redistribution so we can accomodate our beloved ones when they are no more. South Africa's empty land is big enough to bury the whole continent.

Next in line is Jozi. They will tell us not 2 bury koWespark, if u r in Soweto, u'l b restricted to Avalon or Slovo, since Doornkop and Roodepoort r full to capacity.
Weekends r days in which we as black people are available. Iv bn told dat when u hv a funeral during da week it's a bit pricey. Imagine the congestion already expereinced. Swart and his cronies r ridiculous in their thinking should go to Namibia.

That law of yours is not our african tradition.there is no where in africa where people can recycle the graves ,you can't choose for the grieving family when to bury thats unsual and unafrican,don't adopt the english,spanish or european ways to SA you are really out of tune and obviously the grieving family lose the track of time even yourself.,so can't fine R1000.00 thats madness those people already would have spended a lot.guys when you try and change the laws don't forget that this is africa we're leaving african style.
