Construction work is happening at an impressive rate – our new soccer stadium, infrastructure, not to mention the Coega deepwater harbour – with the international aluminium smelter group Alcan signing recently as the anchor tenant.
What’s ‘lekker’ about PE? Just about everything: great (moderate) weather all year round, beautiful beaches (including the Blue Flag beaches St Georges Beach and Humewood beach), low crime rate, strong economic growth, major university (Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University) and schools, the Boardwalk Casino, major hotels and guesthouses, shopping centres, very little traffic congestion and much more to mention.
