*Bulawayo City Council Considers Banning Child Burials* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?oh The City of Bulawayo is proposing to ban burials of children between the ages of zero to twelve years and make cremation mandatory. Cremation is the disposal of a dead person’s body by burning it to ashes, typically after a funeral ceremony. ---------- Latest itel A06 on Pindula: 32GB storage, 4GB RAM $69 USD WhatsApp: +263715068543 Calls: 0772464000 ---------- The mandatory cremation of children will save burial space which is increasingly becoming scarce in the country’s second-largest city, according to councillors. During a council meeting, the Director of the Health Services Department, Dr Edwin Sibanda, said that the Bulawayo City Council had leased a plot of land at Luveve Cemetery to a private contractor who had built a crematorium. The local authority and the contractor plan to cut cremation fees for children aged zero to twelve years to $30. Councillor Felix Mhaka supported the cremation of zero to 12-year-old children and proposed that funerals of children between the ages of zero and 12 years should be prohibited with effect from 1 February 2023. The councillors concurred residents should be encouraged to embrace cremation to save burial space. | CITE _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
