The moon shone down in all her splendour at the official opening of the Umdoni Point Sports & Leisure Centre last Friday night.
Invitees were astounded at the amazing facilities on offer, such as bowling greens, pickleball courts, a gym, a swimming pool, a fine dining restaurant, and so much more.
The Mayor, Mbali Cele-Luthuli, dressed in a beautiful black and silver dress, did the official ribbon cutting and was pleased that the local community now has such a facility.
Paul Tedder, along with his dedicated team comprising of Gina Tedder, Sean Willis and Nico Smith, have worked tirelessly with an array of talented professionals to create a haven of leisure and enjoyment for residents and visitors alike.
