South Africa reburies ancestral remains repatriated from Europe

CAPE TOWN, March 23 (Xinhua) -- South Africa on Monday reburied the ancestral remains of 63 indigenous people, including members of Khoi and San communities, among the country's earliest inhabitants, repatriated from Europe.

President Cyril Ramaphosa officiated the ceremony at the Kinderle Monument in the Northern Cape province, where the remains, which had been taken to Europe and held in local museums and other institutions during the colonial era, were laid to rest following a years-long repatriation process involving South African authorities and overseas institutions.
