City: Cape Town cemeteries get clean up

The city of Cape Town has issued a warning to residents about “illegal” memorials being constructed in the city’s cemeteries and has said that, in future, it will remove any that have been erected without permission and the appropriate permit.

According to the city council the ongoing trend for illicit gravestones and memorials has led, in the worst cases, to families placing stones on the wrong graves altogether, and to structures being erected that are so big they overlap neighbouring graves. The city has also urged residents to maintain memorials.
