CAPE TOWN - The Muslim Judicial Council (MJC) has met with the Moslem Cemetery Board and has come to the agreement that no penalty fees will need to be paid by the members of the public if arriving after hours.
In a statement released, second deputy president of the MJC, Shaykh Riad Fataar said they had met with the cemetery board, following last week’s public outcry regarding a R500 penalty fee which was charged for burials arriving at the Mowbray Cemetery after hours.
Previously, secretary of the board, Fazloodien Abrahams, said this fee was communicated to undertakers in November last year and stipulates that the levy pertains to janazas that take place after operating hours, which end at 4.30pm.
