BTW, it is typically a bad idea to use a pseudo-TLD, because of the
risk of leaking domain names (which won't work outside) and the risk
when merging with another organization (which may use the same). Why
not using ptawug.co.za or, if purely local, private.ptawug.co.za?

It seems correct and, IMHO, should work. Did you try 'tcpdump -n host
172.20.24.98 and port 53' to see if queries really do go to this
machine?

Error message from dig? 
 
Anything in Unbound log file? Try at least 'verbosity: 3' to have more
details.
