A tombstone company from George, Western Cape expressed their disapproved over the “bad” treatment they said they received at the Knysna cemetery every time they had to erect a tombstone.
Bredenkamp stated that there have been times when he had to call the municipal workers’ superiors and threaten them in order to get access to the cemetery. “We bring our own soil when working in Knysna. We were working in Knysna on Friday, but we did not finish the tombstone, only the head stone was remaining which would take us less than 10 minutes.
Municipal spokesperson Christopher Bezuidenhout said the municipality has put strict Covid-19 protocols in place at all greater Knysna cemeteries.
