‘Satanists’, state security blamed for Muslim cemetery desecration in Cape Town

The Al-Jamah-ah party has slammed the Department of State Security for not detecting a perceived “Satanic” desecration of about 80 graves at the Mowbray Muslim Cemetery in Cape Town. 

The Al-Jamah-ah party has slammed the Department of State Security for not detecting a perceived “Satanic” desecration of about 80 graves at the Mowbray Muslim Cemetery in Cape Town. 

“It is evil,” said party leader Ganief Hendricks.

Earlier this week, tombstones at the cemetery were ripped out of the ground and arranged in the shape of a cross and other shapes.

Most of the tombstones affected were at the top end of the cemetery, next to Groote Schuur hospital.

Cemetery workers have put back most of them after appealing for help to identify which graves they belonged to.

Hendricks believed that Christians would never do such a thing. So, if it was not a Halloween prank, he was convinced Satanists were behind it.

“It must have been quite an exercise. It must have been a massive operation,” he said, questioning how nobody could have seen anything.

“The triangle is symbolism used by Satanists to express their cult,” he said.

Hendricks also said that there the perpetrators dug at seven graves, but no human remains were missing.

“We are very concerned about all cemeteries in Cape Town now.” 

Police said they were investigating a case of malicious damage to property.
