Hi Shaneel, I am glad you have asked about Wiki Meetups in other parts of South Africa such as Pietermaritzburg. Wikimedia ZA is very supportive of local Wikimedians such as your self taking the initiative to organise local meetups. Please let me know if you do host a meetup. Event if it is just two people that would still be a great start.
Best regards, Douglas.
