BGQ or APE?

By

The moans and groans about the new name for Port Elizabeth – Gqeberha – continue.

Gqeberha residents still refer to the city as PE and refuse to use ‘that’ name.

So – here is a compromise for the transition:

  • For any events in Gqeberha before 22 February 2021 we can refer to the timeline as BGQ – Before Geqeberha
  • For any events in Gqeberha after that date we can refer to the timeline as APE – After Port Elizabeth.

For me though – GQ has a nice ring to it and MyGQ even better!

Go On – Share the Gqeberha Love!

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.
