• Notes

  George Zoroaster Ulyate's early years were spent at Grahamstown. He took part in the early frontier wars before settling in the Queenstown district where he became a municipal councillor but eventually moved to East London in 1877 and opened a butchery in Panmure in January 1877. He later became a partner in the firm Ulyate and Masters, general merchants, drapers and outfitters, with shops in Station and Terminus Streets. When the partnership dissolved, Ulyate carried on the grocery business. He also owned a wool and produce buyers in Station and Oxford Streets. Ulyate was the first person to acquire land at the Beach on the East Bank and he built a row of cottages along the sea front at Quanza Terrace. In June 1879 he was elected to the Council to represent Ward 2. He stood down after his retirement on rotation in February 1880 but briefly re-entered the Council in February 1881 as a member for Ward 3. He resigned in December that year. Ulyate's last four years of life were spent in total blindness. He eventually died of a haemorrhage of the brain on 28 January 1898, at the age of 78. He was buried at East London.
