The construction of a pathway in Richmond Park, Richmond Hill, can resume but no other upgrades are allowed until a public participation process is completed.
Construction of a pathway in Richmond Park, Richmond Hill, was halted on Wednesday after blowback from the Mandela Bay Heritage Trust which warned that any excavation work might uncover graves and other artefacts from a historical cemetery located below ground.
A Nelson Mandela Bay historian is opening old wounds in his quest to get the South African Heritage Resources Agency (SAHRA), Nelson Mandela Bay municipality and other government entities to formally conserve the century-old Mfengu graves discovered in Richmond Park.
