SAFRICA-TRADITION-CEMETERIES-AIDS
TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY MARINE VEITH == A picture taken on October 8, 2010 shows a general view of a graveyard that will be recycled by the Ethekwini (Durban) Municipality at the Loon Street cemetry in Durban, South Africa. KwaZulu-Natal province suffers the highest HIV rate in the nation with the world's biggest AIDS burden. The death toll has soared for years, and cemeteries are running out of space. Urban graveyards reserved for whites under apartheid have also filled up since democracy arrived in 1994. With about 20,000 deaths a year, Durban would have to build several new cemeteries to keep pace, with each costing 20 million rands (2.9 million dollars, two million euros). Durban has launched a pilot project at one graveyard, which will eventually expand to all 60 in the city. Remains more than 10 years old will be re-buried farther underground, with new bodies placed above. AFP PHOTO/RAJESH JANTILAL
