Graveyard in a state

Both, Pretoria Memorial Park Cemetery and Lynnville Cemetery are left vandalised, and unmaintained.

Community members try their best to clean it up such as the most recent work day that was held on Mandela Day.
In December 2012 a family searched for the grave of their father for over and hour.

They were motivated to do something about it so they spent an entire day cutting the grass and raking it up however today the condition of the graveyard is dire. Apart from the unkept grass and facilities there is also theft. Urns have been stolen, as well as tombstones

The municipality has been contacted for comment however they were not able to reply before going to print.

The slates covering the graves have been stolen and left unattended.
