Konyokonyo graveyard in Juba town of Central Equatoria state became a home for some plot less residents.
 
Bakhita Radio visited the yard and spoke to a mother of six children Stella Keji who explained that lack of plot forced her to stay at the graveyard.
 
She said staying at the graveyard is very difficult because sometimes gangs could come and disturb them.
 
Ms Keji said she only feeds her children by brewing local alcohol and some casual work at Konyokonyo market.
 
A father of three children Dario Nyokun who is two years old in the graveyard, said he will continue living in thge graveyard because he lost assistance from his dead brother.
 
Mr Nyokun urged the state government to help the needy.
 
Joseph Jok, another resident at the graveyard said he was displaced several times from different temporary residential areas and not given plot to resettle.
 
The vulnerable, helpless and homeless Konyokonyo graveyard residents called on the state government to get to them a better place.
