Buried Far Away

My wife's cousin H (pictured, with panga) was driven out of the Eastern Cape this morning, to be buried with her husband's family, a thousand miles to the north. There was great distress, because her body was removed from her clan. There was a clan meeting to seek to prevent it, but to no avail.

POSTSCRIPT: Inexplicably, they turned around and brought her body back.

POST-POSTSCRIPT: Then changed their minds.
