LETTER: State of Boksburg Cemetery is horrifying

The reader is distraught at the fact that nothing is being done about the state of the facility.

Marinda Swanepoel, Witfield, writes:

It’s so sad and actually disappointing to see what Boksburg Cemetery looks like.

No one can go near the graves. It is horrifying to look at.

Trees have fallen on some graves. It’s so sad that nothing is being done about it.
