Kwa Qiko Village Grave Exhumation and Relocation

Proposed Exhumation and Relocation of thirty-five Graves to be impacted by the Lower Umkhomazi Bulk Water Supply Scheme Phase 1: Vulamehlo Municipality of the Ugu District, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The construction of an off-stream earth embankment storage dam in the Ngwadini River Valley, a tributary of the Umkhomazi perennial stream will impact the graves hence the need to protect them by exhuming and relocating. The Kwa-Qiko Inkosi and tribal council identified a new graveyard to accommodate the reburial of the exhumed human remains away from the footprint of the dam construction. The proposed area is located on an undulating section, 200m below the proposed dam wall on the northern section of the Ngwadini River
