Friends of Johannesburg Cemeteries are currently busy documenting all the damaged memorial walls.

A small number if people burried at Braamfontein has been listed on Wikitree.

Found that South Africa's greatest short-story writer -

Hermanus Charles Bosman (1905 - 1951) - was burried in Braamfontein cemetery

This must be devastating for all those who had family enwalled or en-niched there.
