Question Crossword question

Just having a quick break and have just all but finished a crossword.

I have one question left... and it's annoying me. I've already spent 10minutes trying to figure it out (googled it and everything) and I'm clueless.

Please help!

I am looking for:

"Town of E South Africa, on the Klip River"

It's 9 letters long and DEFINITELY starts with E and it's fifth letter is S. I am almost 100% certain the last letter is H too (as the clue across for that on is "Central part of a wheel, through which the axle passes" - 3 letters... ends in B... must be Hub!)

So

E _ _ _ S _ _ _ H

What is ittttttttttt!

*going back to her work all frustrated*

http://www.crosswordsolver.org/ is awesome for such things
Other than that, my African geography is fairly non existent

DONT WORRY! I solved it! I spelt "Principal" like "Principle" by mistake and therefore it begins with L... which means it HAS to be Ladysmith!

Isn't it amazing how when you don't look at something for a while and then look back you can instantly spot your errors

Stupid me. Delete the thread if you likeys I was a numpty!
