Financials at SGM?
Unfortunately, the board has not made financials available to members. Based on publicly available burial information, one member compiled the following estimate for July 2026:
- Adult GraveR2,500 × 132 burials
- R330,000
- Baby (0–1 year)R350 × 1
- R350
- Still BornR350 × 3
- R1,050
- LimbR350 × 3
- R1,050
- Month total
- R332,450
- Extrapolated to a year
- ≈ FOUR MILLION RAND
This is a community estimate based on public burial data, not the official financial statements. Expenses and other income (donations, tree sales, flowers) remain unknown, as the Board did not provide bank statements or financials when requested.
