However, a visit last week left the family angry and disappointed when they came across the vandalised site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A crack on a plaque, a broken vase, missing flowers and stolen brass is what greeted the family during their visit on Monday 5 August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI usually come to my wife\u2019s grave once a month,\u201d says Jacobus. \u201cI made brackets for the cross and tried to make it with the cheapest materials that can\u2019t be vandalised or tempting to thieves but that did not stop them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His advice to families is not to leave fresh flowers with long stems behind as vandals will steal them from the cemetery to resell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy advice to people is to cut the flowers short and sprinkle sand over so that perpetrators will not be able to sell the flowers,\u201d said Jacobus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-common-occurence\">Common occurence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Jacobus, vandalism and robberies at the cemetery have become a common occurrence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPerpetrators take small pieces of metal from the grave site crosses, it is not even worth anything but they will break it off and sell it for scrap,\u201d he said. \u201cIn this cemetery, there are also a lot of people being robbed and their personal belongings get stolen. I belong to the neighbourhood watch and so people have told me how scared they are to come to the cemetery.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He urges the community not to visit the cemetery alone and to keep valuables out of sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDo not leave any valuable items such as a sentimental vase behind because it will be broken or stolen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_65dc04e6\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/12098\/e33a474a006443539d43aee9a75339e4.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/56e8dc42b588482fba54c4acd1bcc725.jpg\" title=\"Neil Jacobus at his wife\u2019s grave site in Klip Road Cemetery.

It is nothing new, however, it\u2019s been happening for at least four years where people are attacked in the cemetery,\u201d he said. \u201cPeople steal flowers, they assault people who go to visit a grave, which is something completely outside of our culture.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-24-7-presence\">24\/7 presence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>He added while there are occasional Law Enforcement patrols in the cemetery it has not fixed the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe people who want to steal, they steal plaques from the Muslim graves and there isn\u2019t much one can do unless there is a 24\/7 presence in the cemetery,\u201d said Bam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve seen people come around trying to sell flowers that was stolen from the grave and I think we need to implore our community, schools and churches to reinforce the fact that a grave is a sacred place.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He called on Law Enforcement to enhance their presence in and around the cemetery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is sad that people don\u2019t have respect anymore because in the old days it was unthinkable that someone would desecrate a grave and show that kind of disrespect,\u201d he said. \u201cWe want to call on our community to respect the dead and not desecrate the graves\u2026 it is simply not on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bam reminded the community to never enter the cemetery alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think it is never safe in an open space where you don\u2019t know people\u2019s motives \u2013 because you will be robbed.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The family of Neil Jacobus, chair of the Carola Neighbourhood Watch, found his late wife&#8217;s grave vandalised at Klip Road
