* SCOTTBURGH has come out firmly against the inclusion of Amanzimtoti, Kingsburgh and Umbogintwini in an Upper South Coast regional services council.
It was reported in last week’s issue of the Sun that Scottburgh was against the inclusion in the three towns in a proposed Upper South Coast Rrgional services council, but the council was almost equally divided on the issue.
However, when it came to vote on Tuesday night this week, the council put up a unanimous front.
* DENISE Purves of Isundu Drive had always wanted to keep geese, but she never expected a pair to literally drop into her garden out of the blue.

* KIND citizens who give money to the young black beggers who frequent the Checkers parking area should note that most of the money is spent on glue. According to the manageress of Ken’s Video, Susan Vorster the boys arrive early every morning and leave after 5pm.
