Human bones and skulls were found at an illegal dumping site in Isipingo, south of Durban.
The human bones and skulls that were found dumped in an illegal dumping site near Isipingo south of Durban are believed to have been extracted from a private cemetery for the purposes of a new burial space.
The human remains, which were in several blankets, were discovered by the waste pickers on Tuesday morning who alerted people who live nearby. The neighbours then called the councillor and the headman (induna).
A source at the scene, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the suspicion is that the human remains were dug out at night from a private cemetery and dumped in the area to make way for new burial space.
“We are not sure what would be the motive of digging out the bodies of people and a police investigation will determine this,” said the source.
