The Msimang family together with the Presidency have considered the unresolved issues related to the voluntary closure of the crematorium in Pretoria West, Rebecca Street by the City of Tshwane.
Given this background the Msimang family have decided to move the cremation of Dr Mantombazana Tshabalala–Msimang to the Benoni crematorium.
The family and the Presidency fervently hope that the City of Tshwane and the Department of Environmental Affairs will finally resolve the issues related to this crematorium as it is the only one catering for the community of Pretoria.
