Durban - Plans are afoot to get a new cremator into the Tongaat Crematorium to replace the old one.
This was as the Mobeni Heights Crematorium after years, opened its doors to the public who previously had to carry the extra cost of using a private crematorium.
On Monday the facility had already begun its order of business cremating bodies.
Maggie Govender, an ANC constituency MPL in Chatsworth, said their office had received many queries from the community about this facility.
"We have in the past raised the matter with the municipality and were told it would be opened in February. We have been pushing together with councillors in the city and within the Cogta portfolio committee to have this facility operating back to normal. Yesterday (Sunday) I confirmed with the deputy city manager for Community and Emergency Services, Dr Musa Gumede, who said the facility was functioning with people on site," she said.
