Locals invited to rev their engines for Dundee Adult Centre 4x4 fund-raiser
Residents are invited to gear up for a muddy adventure in support of a worthy cause at the Dundee Adult Centre 4×4 Family Day, set to take place on Saturday, July 26, at Corby Rock Farm, just 7km outside Dundee on the Nquthu road. The community-driven event serves as a fund-raiser to support the ongoing work of the centre, which provides care for adults who are mentally challenged and/or disabled. Drivers can put their off-road skills to the test on a specially prepared course, with an entry fee of R600 per vehicle. Local businesses are encouraged to sponsor an obstacle for R1000, offering a unique opportunity to promote their brand while contributing to community upliftment. 'This is more than just a 4×4 challenge,' said organiser Willie Steenberg. 'It's about bringing people together, raising funds for a good cause, and having loads of fun while we're at it.' Camping facilities are available for Friday and Saturday night at no cost, with hot water and ablution blocks ensuring a comfortable stay for families. Spectators are welcome, and organisers are calling on the public to come out, cheer on participants, and enjoy a fun-filled family day outdoors. Vehicle entries are limited, and early booking is essential via 073 847 4898. HAVE YOUR SAY: Like our Facebook page, follow us on Twitter and Instagram or email us at [email protected].

No feedback yet on condemning fraud report against Endumneni Municipality
There is yet to be any feedback on the probe done into fraud and corruption at Endumeni Municipality that revealed allegations of fraud, maladministration and corruption. The investigation ordered by the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Co-operative Governance & Traditional Affairs (CoGTA) was completed by an independent auditing company in April last year, but was only presented to the council a year later. The report recommends disciplinary action against two senior municipal officials accused of approving payments for mayoral security, totalling R3.5 million, before the contracts were properly approved. A third official implicated in the report has since resigned. Willie Steenberg of the Endumeni Residents Association said it was puzzling that Cogta waited a year before presenting the report and that this has 'fuelled suspicions'. The ANC has called on CoGTA MEC Buthelezi to take steps against the municipality after council ignored a 21-day deadline, set by the Department of Co-operative Governance & Traditional Affairs, to respond to the recommendations made by the report.
