Just FYI: I put zones to a files the same name as zones have (with the
exemption of changing slash to underscore for RFC2317-delegated zones).

therefore I'd do

zone "metropolitanbuntu.co.za" IN {
        file "/var/cache/bind/metropolitanbuntu.co.za";

zone "0.0.10.in-addr.arpa" IN {
        file "/var/cache/bind/0.0.10.in-addr.arpa";

zone "194.134.41.in-addr.arpa" IN {
        file "/var/cache/bind/194.134.41.in-addr.arpa";

and apparently also put 'directory "/var/cache/bind";' to named.conf and
skip the full path, or just prefix it with master/ and slave/ ...

It's much easier to do

vi metropolitanbuntu.co.za
rndc reload metrop<TAB>
 or maybe in tcsh:
rndc reload !!:1
