Port Elizabeth?
We are a British family of four with the opportunity to move to Port Elizabeth. We are currently in Adelaide, Australia. All advice and ideas about PE are greatly welcomed - it looks amazing, just need to know as much as we can from people in the know....thanks

It's a struggling, slowly decaying, rather small city in one of South Africa's more violent, more corrupt, more desperate provinces. Why would you even consider trading Adelaide for it?

Re: Port Elizabeth?
I was going to ask that question. I cannot se why anyone would choose Port Elizabeth - or any destination in South Africa. Even my Afrikaner friends whose families have been there for generations are leaving South Africa.

It’s been a long time since I was there but it was awful then, doesn’t sound like it’s changed or got any better.
