HUMAN remains, possibly dating back centuries, have been unearthed at a housing development project in Bulawayo, an official has said.
The remains were found in the suburb of Killarney, and exhumed for re-burial. Bulawayo City Council town clerk Christopher Dube said the site appears to have been a human settlement some centuries ago, and human remains were being unearthed in various parts of the area.
Found remains were being collected by the Department of National Museums and Monuments in conjunction with police for re-burial at Luveve Cemetery.
“The City of Bulawayo would like to advise members of the public of the exhumation of human remains at a housing development project currently underway in Killarney. It appears that there was a settlement in the area some centuries ago and human remains were encountered at various points of development,” Dube said.
“The Department of National Museums and Monuments in the presence of the Zimbabwe Republic Police collected the remains which were buried at Luveve Cemetery,” he said. —New Ziana
