Almost a year after she was buried in a municipal cemetery miles from her husband’s grave, the Eastern Cape High Court has authorised the exhumation of a local woman’s body so the couple can be together in death. After Sylvia Phindezwa Zitshu died last July, her family the Ngikelas and that of her late husband met to make arrangements for her burial.
But their meeting gave rise to a feud over finances and she ended up being buried with the Ngikelas in Makhanda instead. Desperate that his parents be together in their final resting places, the couple’s adoptive son, Anathi Ntshate, then approached the court. Attempts on the part of the Zitshus to make amends afterwards were unsuccessful and Zitshu’s family went ahead and buried her in Makhanda with their relatives.
