Hello Beryl Thanks for your email. So far nothing as changed. The Western Cape Genealogical Society of SA is busy transcribing the tombstones of the cemetery of which some of them are already available on their 3rd Cemetery CD. The plot cards are still housed at the Cape Metropolitan Council offices in Wale Street where we too have heard that they charge R225.00 for each surname looked up - WOW what an expense.
