Notable person
The cricketer Gulam Bodi was born in Hathurun and emigrated to South Africa as a teenager. He went on to represent South Africa Schools and played for the Under-19 side in the World Cup. He came close to a national call-up - he was summoned to the West Indies but broke a finger - but then slipped from the radar. The introduction of Pro20 brought a new lease of life to his game and after a successful run in the top order for the Titans he was named in the Twenty20 World Championship squad and played for the Highveld Lions.
