After many months of hard work, the Friends of Johannesburg Cemeteries (FOJC) has completed their restoration of the Ash Walls at Braamfontein Cemeteries, which were heartlessly vandalised in mid-2023. Sincere thanks go out to the entire FOJC team, Joburg City Parks, and everyone who supported this enormous project by donating their time and/or money. We are gratified that the sanctity of the cemetery has been restored and welcome the additional security patrols that will prevent this kind of appalling vandalism from happening again.
