Frequently Asked Questions
How many sections does Umlazi have?
Umlazi has 26 sections: A to Z without I, O and X, plus AA, BB and CC.
Why are there no I, O or X sections in Umlazi?
Those letters were not used when the sections were named, so the sequence skips them.
How do I write an Umlazi address?
Include the house number, the section letter (for example “V Section”), Umlazi, and the postal code. See the Umlazi Postal Code guide for the correct code.
