A family at Camen Ranch in Silobela was forced to exhume an unknown object they had allegedly buried in a grave during the night.
Mr Ndumiso Mlambo and his family raised the ire of the community leadership and left villagers tongue tied after they reportedly buried an unknown thing in a grave.
Speaking to B-Metro Chief Malisa said after he received a report that Mlambo and family were seen burying an unknown thing in a bush area he got worried.
a�?I got worried and shocked after I received a report informing me that Ndumiso Mlambo and his family were seen at around 10PM a fortnight ago burying an unknown thing in the bush. The leadership and the community members were not informed or invited for the burial,a�? he said.
Mlambo was brought before the chiefa��s court a fortnight ago to explain what he buried in a grave and why he did not inform other villagers.
He said according to their tradition after a traditional ceremony they had to bury bones, red and black cloth and a skin of a goat so as to appease their ancestors.
Accordingly Chief Malisa ordered Mlambo family to exhume the remains of the interred a�?thinga�?so as to prove to the community what they interred in the grave. Mlambo obliged and an exhumation ceremony was conducted last week on Saturday.
Malisa said a skin of a goat, bones, red and black cloth material were found in a grave.
He said in a bid to curb such incidents in future he had urged community members to inform the local leadership before they conduct any activity that might raise suspicion in the community.
