Stunning Pics Of Port Elizabeth That Prove It’s SA’s Most Underrated City

Over at the I like Port Elizabeth Facebook page we get a constant flow of amazing pics from SA’s Southernmost city. To most, Port Elizabeth is a forgotten city which doesn’t measure up to the likes of local giants like Cape Town and Durban and we think this is unfair. While commonly referred to as the Windy or Friendly City, there’s a lot more to it than a breezy climate and warm smiles.
