(en) Remember September 3 1984: Grave Fees Must Fall Campaign: Stop the Privatisation of Cemeteries - Asinamali! by Sifuna Zonke

Thu, 8 Sep 2016 10:26:53 +0300
We, concerned burial societies and community organisations of the Vaal area, invite
everyone in the region to support our struggle against high fees and privatisation of
cemeteries. Our people are already living in poverty and struggling to access basic
services and a better life because of privatisation. Now they want to charge us high fees
and profit from the death of our loved ones! We working class people of the Vaal can not
afford the high fees they are charging for graves – fees that are so high and on top of it
we still have to pay for tombstones, caskets and reopening if we want to bury another
person on the site! Asinamali! Grave fees must fall! We demand free graves! --- Yesterday
it was our electricity and water. Today it is our cemeteries and burial rights. Tomorrow
it could be the air we breathe. We are saying no to privatisation! Help us build a
movement to defend our human and constitutional rights and to roll back the privatisation
and commercialisation of basic services.
Join us to commemorate the victims of the Vaal Uprising and to continue and build the
struggle against the privatisation and commodification of basic services and human rights
and for true liberation.

#GRAVE FEES MUST FALL CAMPAIGN! ASINAMALI!
STOP THE PRIVATISATION OF CEMETERIES
We, concerned burial societies and community organisations of the Vaal area, invite
everyone in the region to support our struggle against high fees and privatisation of
cemetery’s. Our people are already living in poverty and struggling to access basic
services and a better life because of privatisation. Now they want to charge us high fees
and profit from the death of our loved ones! We working class people of the Vaal can not
afford the high fees they are charging for graves – fees that are so high and on top of it
we still have to pay for tombstones, caskets and reopening if we want to bury another
person on the site! Asinamali! Grave fees must fall! We demand free graves!
We do not have land, but the ruling party and its government are selling our land to
private individuals (some of whom are believed to be government officials) to profit from
by opening private cemeteries. They know that everybody must die and that if they are not
cremated they must be buried and cemeteries are already getting overcrowded. They also
know how seriously we Africans take funerals and the burial of our loved ones and for them
this is a market to corner; another area of our lives for them to privatise and profit
from. Asinamali! We will not pay to bury our dead in their own land!
Under the ANC’s neoliberal GEAR policies every aspect of our lives is privatised,
commercialised or commodified. This means that every aspect of our lives, all our rights
and services, is turned into a profit-making project that makes the ruling class (private
capitalists and state managers) rich at the expense of the poor working class majority.
Asinamali! We will not pay to make the rich richer while we get poorer!
WE DEMAND:
• Better security at cemeteries
• Free public toilets at cemeteries
• Free tombstones Permit
• Free reopening
• Free municipal grave sites
• Free basic services for the poor
• An end to privatisation of basic services and human rights
• No to Profiting from the Death of our Loved Ones!
• Stop the Privatisation of Basic Services!
Yesterday it was our electricity and water. Today it is our cemeteries and burial rights.
Tomorrow it could be the air we breathe. We are saying no to privatisation! Help us build
a movement to defend our human and constitutional rights and to roll back the
privatisation and commercialisation of basic services.
