Mpumalanga families who laid charges of the violation of graves and malicious damage to property after relatives' graves were exhumed and relocated without consent, have accused the police of failing to investigate the matter.
Early this year, three families from Nooitgedacht, Middelburg, accused Mafube Coal Mine of continuously exhuming their relatives' graves without consent and burying the remains at an unknown location.
Between April and July, two of the affected families, identified as Masombuka and Bhuda, approached the Middelburg police to open cases against the mine.
Yesterday, in an interview with The Citizen, the families said the police were not updating them about the progress of the investigation.
