INTRODUCTION This chapter, which is in essence descriptive, reports the results of the survey of land and asset size, structure and distribution, and of some possibly related demographic and environmental circumstances, in Northern Province (NP) (recently renamed to Limpopo Province), South Africa. First, however, for readers to interpret these results and compare them with the other two country surveys in this study, we must explain the basic social indicators of the country (see Table 1), the unusual forms of inequality, poverty, asset ownership, rural and agricultural activity, and unemployment in South Africa. Table 1: Social indicators for South Africa (1996/97/98) Indicator South Africa Northern Province Population (Census, 1996) 40.58 million 4.93 million Population growth rate 2.08 % 2.31% Urban population as % of total 53.70% 10.95% Infant mortality rate 41 53 Total fertility rate 2.7 3.2 % of population < 15yrs 34.33% 42.75% Life expectancy at birth 63 63 Non-urban economic active population as 32.9% 82.8% percentage of total economic active population Total unemployment rate (See footnote 3 on p3) 33.8% 45.9% Doctors per 10 000 population 2.9 1.5 Hospital beds per 1 000 population 4.0 3.1 Diseases1: % of HIV infected women

  • Permission of the Municipality from Where the Remains Are Exhumed and Where It Will Be
    • Permission of the Municipality from where the remains are exhumed and where it will be reburied must be obtained. The second is usually included in the process of obtaining new burial plots for re-internment. If the graves in question are not located in the jurisdiction of a Municipality but in an area under a Traditional Authority, permission from said authority is required. • The permission of the landowner where the remains are to be exhumed as well as where the remains will be buried is required. • If the agreement allows for the remains to be placed in a collection, the permission of the head of the institution that houses the collection must be obtained. If the agreement with the interested parties allows for the study of the remains before re-internment, this implies temporary storage which also requires the permission of the head of the institution involved. • A SAHRA permit must be obtained for graves and remains listed above, in short for graves older than 100 years, older than 60 years if located outside the jurisdiction of a municipality and for other graves of cultural significance irrelevant of their age (Note that this may vary between provinces). • Permission from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission must be obtained for any graves under their administration. • The local South African Police Services must be notified of the exhumation seven days prior to the action. • Only a certified funeral undertaker, or an institution with a similar legal status and facilities, is legally allowed to handle, transport and store human remains. South African medical schools legally have this status.
