John Inglis Hall once wrote, “The fact is that anyone who reads about the Truim and sees it through my eyes must be very careful indeed not to be deceived.

That, it seems, is a fair introduction to anything I write about my home river. You have been warned! Here follow some (true) stories from the uMngeni.
