BULAWAYO City Council said it is planning to introduce mandatory cremation for children under the age of 12 as the city says it is running out of burial space, but some councillors want the age limit increased to all persons under 25 years.

The latest council report shows that Bulawayo residents are still shunning cremation as there were only seven cremations in April.

“Councillor Felix Mhaka observed that the council was fast running out of burial space.

A council health, housing and education report shows that the committee is pushing for the restrictions to continue beyond COVID-19 with a number of city fathers in support of the decision.

She also noted that the current restrictions at the city’s cemeteries should continue after lockdown,” the council report read.
