Government officials who are currently studying a course on population dynamics and development strategies visited Cato Manor last month.

Pupils from Clifton school in Durban visited the Umkhumbane library recently to meet community members and find out about life in Cato Manor.

These beauties, representating taverns in Durban, took part in a beauty competition at the Chestervillle Sports ground. It was part of a football fun day which was well attended.
