# Tshwane’s Section 79 Oversight Committee is calling for improved cemetery security following a rise in vandalism. Committee chairperson, Hluphi Gafane, has criticised the metro’s reliance on contracted security and urged the installation of surveillance systems and smart technology. The committee also raised concerns about the exclusion of people with disabilities, the lack of public awareness on alternative burials, and underused young graduates. It has recommended urgent reforms to ensure safety and inclusivity in cemetery management and related municipal services.
