Recent heavy and persistent rain has caused several graves in Johannesburg cemeteries to sink, according to Johannesburg City Parks and Zoo JCPZ.
Thanduxolo Mendrew, MD of JCPZ, explained that the soil covering these graves can become waterlogged and heavy, eventually leading to the ground subsiding.
The affected graves are situated in sections of the Olifantsvlei, Westpark, and Avalon cemeteries.
