Pomeroy (renamed Solomon Linda in 2022)[2] is a small town on the R33 road in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, some 72 kilometers north of Greytown and 56 kilometers south-south-east of Dundee.
The town was named for the noble Sir George Pomeroy Colley, who led the ill-fated British force during the Battle of Majuba Hill in 1881.
[3] The town was established initially as the Gordon Memorial Mission in 1867 in memory of James Henry Hamilton-Gordon, the son of George Hamilton-Gordon, 5th Earl of Aberdeen.
Puren Boodhoo also supported and hosted the local community’s sporting events.
Rambally Boodhoo, his successor, furthered the business and supported town growth still.
