KWAZULU-NATAL. – A human skull and several bones were found on Tuesday afternoon (13 October) on a ridge alongside Leham Road in Phoenix. It is not known how long the remains had been there or under what circumstances the person died.
Reaction Unit South Africa (Rusa) says its Phoenix operational centre received a call from a man herding cattle who discovered the remains. Emergency personnel were dispatched to the scene and made their way down the ridge, where they found the skull and several bones among the grass. A resident claimed this is the third time this year that human remains have been found in the area. According to the resident, the grass on the ridge has previously been set alight and drug users visit the place regularly. The terrain is also visible from houses across the ridge.
