Q: I live in PMB. I am currently on audit at Laysmith, and spend Monday to Friday in Ladysmith. I do not go home (PMB) during weekends, but go to a house in Durban. I intend continuing like this for the next month or two. The distance from my home to the Durban house is about 80KM, but from boundary to boundary would probably be less than 77Km.
