Warren Hills in Warren Park is begging for a facelift while Granville Cemetery (KuMbudzi) and Tafara are in the same sorry state. The perimeter concrete walls at Warren Hills and Tafara are a motley pile of bricks while Granville Ceme-tery is not fenced. The premises are now used for all manner of illegal dealings in flagrant disrespect of the dead.
Pioneer Cemetery in Mbare is now being used as a toilet by vendors at Mupedzanhamo. City officials admit that cemeteries are in terrible condition and have blamed this on lack of finances, equipment and manpower. Nyaradzo Funeral Services has off late tried to spruce up cemeteries across Zimbabwe. For every burial they assist with, a tree is planted in the cemetery. Nyaradzo chief executive officer Mr Philip Mataranyika said the tree planting project began on July 1 this year and the target is to plant 500 million trees in 15 years.
