The remains were exhumed at Manogeng village outside Burgersfort. Both parties have been given time to settle the matter out of court.The case was postponed giving both the defense and the applicant’s lawyers a chance to resolve the matter out of court, as per their request.
The families want the court to force Eskom and its implementing agent, Thero Holdings, to re-exhume the remains of their ancestors, which were re-buried in April. The remains had been kept in shipping containers for five years until they were reburied.“Eskom is claiming that the remains are too old for DNA tests to be conducted on them. We suggested a clairvoyant, which is part of our culture, to determine the families of each individual, but Eskom refused.
Eskom Stakeholder Manager, Tsholofelo Moreosele, earlier said, “The remains are too old for DNA tests to be conducted on them. She says there were groups of people who claimed to be the descendants of the deceased, which led to the delay of the reburial. Moreosele says the South African Heritage Resources Agency issued Eskom with a reburial permit after facilitating the process.”
