Editor –

I was extremely sad to read of the incident on social media whereby the family of the deceased was afraid to clean a grave site due to insensitive folk desecrating the site by consuming alcohol, etc.

I would like to propose a suggestion to the community, perhaps pick the last Sunday of each month from 9am to 12pm to visit your loved one’s sites simultaneously to clean and preserve the graves, in the safety of each other’s company and with dignity?

I also propose the authorities frequent the cemetery more often because if the community is aware of what’s happening surely the police are aware too? If this persists unnoticed, it will become yet another hot spot for criminal activity. The grieving families ought to be granted respect and dignity.
