"The handover is part of the gallows project, which entails the exhumation, handover and reburial of the remains of 83 political prisoners who were hanged at the Kgosi Mampuru gallows and buried in unmarked graves."
A total of 134 political prisoners were hanged at the gallows between 1960 and 1990.
President Jacob Zuma honoured the executed men last year by opening a memorial museum in their honour.
Known as the Gallows Memorialisation Project, the initiative saw a wall being erected in the gallows with individual plaques in remembrance of each of the prisoners.
The prisoners' bodies were exhumed in August. All families were present and given an opportunity to view their graves and remains.
The other prisoners were Mangena Boesman, Raymond Gwebushe, Ndumiso Siphenuka, Makhezwene Menze, Benjamin Gxothiwe, Zwelidumile Mjekula, Thobile Llyod, Siphiwe Lande, Lungile Rewu, Tsepo Letsoara and Sipho Mahala.
