A municipality in South Africa has announced that it would file charges against its employees for misbehaviour after images of them lounging on top of graves on social media went viral.
According to local media accounts, the workers are from the municipal parks department, which is in charge of maintaining parks and public spaces.
When the photos were taken is unknown.
In a statement, Msunduzi municipality, in Kwa-Zulu Natal province, said it was aware of what it termed “disturbing photographs”.
“The municipality will not condone such behaviour and can confirm that processes are in place for the implicated employees to be charged for misconduct and for putting the municipality in disrepute,” it said.
