PLANS are underway to construct a fence to protect the graveyard, where people who died in 2011 and 2012 marine accidents lie, the Zanzibar State Minister Mr Mohammed Aboud Mohammed has said.
“The government has allocated more than 100m/- for the project. We have to protect the graveyards of people who died in MV Spice Islanders, and MV Skagit,” said Mohammed when he visited the areaKama, Unguja West district.
He said the aim of the fencing project to be managed by the disaster department is to prevent people from invading the graveyard area.
