PROPOSED EXHUMATION AND RELOCATION OF 9 GRAVES FROM XIVONO MINING (NTIMENI COLLIERY), BELFAST, WITHIN THE NKANGALA DISTRICT MUNICIPALITY AND THE EMAKHAZENI LOCAL MUNICIPALITY, MPUMALANGA PROVINCE

PGS Heritage has been appointed by Xivono Mining, to affect the relocation of graves located on portions 3 and 9 of the farm Weltevreden 381 JT, near Belfast, in the Mpumalanga Province. This application deals with 9 (nine) graves, although only two (2) graves require permission for relocation based on the SAHRA legislation. This relocation forms part of Phase 2 of the project, which will be affected by mining activities within the Ntimeni Colliery project area. The graves are to be moved to existing formal cemeteries or informal traditional areas as selected by the next of kin. We will be assisted on this project by local service providers (Appendix A). The stakeholder engagement process, to identify the closest next of kin for the graves commenced on the 21st of April 2023.
