We lived in Mtunzini town for almost 2 years, and is was heaven compared to the previous 20+ years we lived in greater Johannesburg. We recently moved out of town onto a small farm that we are in the process of buying, and we haven't been this happy with our home since we married. 'Zini is a great community with enough facilities and shops for most everyday requirements, and if we need access to larger stores and banks we only have to drive 30-40 minutes. Crime rate in 'Zini is amongst the lowest in the country and young girls can go jogging alone at 04h00 with no fear, and old ladies can walk alone after dark if they wish.
Edit - I forgot to mention - the golf course has 9 fairways, but each has 2 different tees, so it is an 18 hole course with some very tricky gradients.
Yeah - I still need to hear the price to repair my motor, but the rest of the restore is going quite well.

Definitely no bears, and Africa doesn't have wild tigers]AHH! but he must go into that small community. If I understand the 'prices'(probably rand not dollars), a new motor may be less expensive?

Prices in 'Zini are just a small bit higher than in the larger centers within an hour's drive, so we are OK (except in holiday season when prices are adjusted to take advantage of the masses).

What I can't figure out is how to add the SS map onto the "My Maps" list so that I can access it anytime I'm logged on without having to find this thread for the address.
