Nasrec Cemetery shuts for weekend as G20 Summit locks down precinct

Executive Summary

The Calgro-owned Nasrec Memorial Park in Johannesburg will close for the G20 summit weekend, surprising the funeral industry as funerals are diverted to Fourways Memorial Park due to the precinct lockdown. Rebecca Nxumalo of the National Funeral Practitioners Association of SA warned that this could lead to bodies piling up in storage facilities and inconvenience families honoring the deceased's burial wishes at Nasrec. The disruption highlights potential negative impacts on essential services amid high-profile international events.
