Yesterday I inspected the recently refurbished Witbank Jewish cemetery.
To prevent vandalism we have set all the headstones flat. See pictures attached.
I will now also embark on a project to erect small headstones on the unmarked graves from the info in the death register.

Attached please find pictures of the recently painted walls in the Jewish cemetery.
I am in the process of making small gravestones to demarcate the 38 unmarked graves in the cemetery.
