Ekurhuleni’s cemeteries are quickly running out of space that there is only 30 percent of vacant burial space left across the entire municipality.

Johannesburg -

However, the city said, the cemetery remains ready for second, in appropriate circumstances, third interment. It has also reserved a small portion of land there for the burial of indigents and paupers only. "The by-laws make provision for multiple interments in one grave on condition that an application has been made to the cemetery officer and written permission has been granted.

"Residents in the Etwatwa area can utilise nearby cemeteries such as Lala Ngoxolo Cemetery in Crystal Park and Springs Sub Regional cemetery in Petersfield.
