A FAMILY is angry and shocked after alleged jealous people vandalised their loved one's tombstone.

According to the family, they spent almost R156 000 on a tombstone and R21 000 on a glass that is covering the tombstone.

The widow of the late Stanley Letlape (60), who died in July 2021, Salome Letlape (61), said she loves her husband even though he was gone. She said she erected an expensive tombstone in 2022 but unfortunately, when she visited the grave at Block E Cemetery in Hebron in North West in November 2023, the glass was broken, and the tombstone vandalised.
