Discover Freedom destination video – Featured Blog

21 January 2017 By Port Elizabethan

Today’s posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger:

Discover Freedom destination video:

https://www.youtube.com/embed/SO5kb_-nrhA?feature=player_embedded
For a big period of the time that I worked for Nelson Mandela Bay the tagline used by the organisation was “Discover Freedom”.  It was a play on words using the link of Nelson Mandela’s name and freedom from Apartheid but also referred to the freedom the city offers visitors to choose what they want to do without saying “you have to do this or that”, our wide open spaces, wildlife and many attractions.  When I started working there in 2007 this was the destination marketing video that we were using and to be honest, I still enjoy it.

Coega wind turbine:

Before all these wind farm that have been going up at Jbay, the Tsitsikamma, Blue Horizon Bay and on the Addo Road there was only one.  The very first wind turbine to be erected in the area was the one close to the N2 in the Coega Industrial Development zone.  One that’s still standing all by it’s lonesome self.  I took a drive through the IDZ today and decided to snap a pic of it.
