Concerns are escalating in Johannesburg as the city's Westpark Cemetery is projected to reach full capacity by May this year.

They argue that forcing families into cremation infringes upon cultural and religious burial rights. City officials maintain that cremation is optional, with alternative burial sites available. To delve deeper into this issue, Elvis Presslin spoke to Prince George Mahlangu, Deputy Chairperson of the CRL Rights Commission
