Juliwe Cemetery is the last resting place for the population of Juliwe in Johannesburg, South Africa. The cemetery played a great role in cultural, community and religious life and ritual activity; both Christian and African ancestral rites were carried out there.[1][2]
The cemetery was located on the west side of the nearby cattle kraal. As of 1959, the cemetery contained 2,000 adult graves in which 3000 bodies had been buried, along with 2,635 infant graves. Different ethnic groups would unite in solidarity with Xhosa people catering for Tswana tastes and vice versa.[3]
