A Rickshaw in Port Elizabeth?

By

Rikshaw Port Elizabeth
Do my eyes deceive me? Has a whole new waterfront sprung up in Port Elizabeth?

Occasionally on the #PortElizabeth page the strangest images pop up. This morning early was the turn of an image purporting to be that of a Rikshaw along our PE beachfront.

Now, I do travel along the beach-front quite often and am 199% sure that the image is NOT of a rickshaw in PE but rather of one in Durban – the tall palm trees are kind of a give-away, not to mention that the Zulu nation is famous for their rikshaw athleticism and not the Xhosa.

See the screengrab above and, whilst you are there you will see an image of a surfer purporting to be from Port Elizabeth. But, once again our German friend also appears to be a little bit rigting befok as the surfer is also in Durban – the Pier and Moses Mabhida Stadium spoil the illusion of surfing off Hobie Beach.

Gently help our German friend by leaving comments on his images here: juschelmu – Rikscha in Port Elizabeth and here: juschelmu – Surfer in Port Elizabeth.

Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth. Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.

    • I like the way he is like; “Yeah Really [it is Port Elizabeth]!” And in all those hashtags not one for Durban at all.
