Who needs a 4LT V6 ?

SIRAmidst all that has been

said “nay sayeo, back stab-bers, finger pointing”, I wouldlike to congratulate Mr PG Ma-vundla on establishing Ma-vundla Square.

SIR,Umvoti Unemployment committee

would like to apologise to all the unem-ployed of Umvoti for the inconveniencecaused by the cancellation of the marchdue to be held last Friday.

This last minute cancellation wasdue to the municipal manager refusingpermission, notification of which was

only received at 3.30pm on Wednesday.As the committee, we feel that de-

spite the processes we have gonethrough with the officials, the rights ofthe people have been overlooked interms of the Constitution, as the munici-pal manager is hiding behind technicali-ties without any basis. Committeemembers have requested a meetingwith the speaker, administrator and mu-nicipal manager which was due to takeplace on Monday to discuss the out-standing matters of concern.

Well done to David Cunningham whoscored 50 runs. The 1st XI played against astrong Weston team at Weston, and did notwin despite a spirited performance.

They fared much better against Grace Col-lege, to whom they lost earlier in the year.

Grace College 1st XI batted first, putting upa challenging total - Hermannsburg passedtheir score, despite losing five wickets in fiveovers, before the remaining batsmen rallied,hitting somebeautiful boundaries and settingup Hermannsburg to win by three wicketswith an over in hand.

In the primary school, a mixed age-groupteam played a home game against GreytownJunior. Greytown scored 55 runs in their 20overs, Hermannsburg replying with 55 in 12overs (Eric Ortmann 45) to win the match.Well done to the Hermannsburg team.
