Morogoro. In a troubling trend that has left families grieving even more deeply, unknown individuals have been stealing crosses from graves at Kola Cemetery in Morogoro Municipality.

This disturbing situation not only deprives families of the ability to identify their loved ones’ resting places but also imposes unexpected financial burdens as they are forced to replace the stolen markers.
