Promoting Local Nelson Mandela Bay Business

31 August 2023 By Alan Straton

The Eastern Cape is a real dichotomy – many internationally known business and sportspersons hail from Nelson Mandela Bay and the Eastern Cape, many businesses are lauded for their innovational ways of conducting business and then… most of those people, schooled and hardened in the deep, hot trenches are then snapped up to work in other cities and countries.

The Eastern Cape just does not seem capable of retaining home grown talent.

MyPE Business.

This drain of resources has, over the past decades, resulted in low employment rates, extreme poverty and a defeatist attitude.

We witness media (social and traditional) in other provinces and countries supporting their businesses and sports making the rest of the country wanting to move there and share in the great fortune whilst us here in the Eastern Cape will rather bash and pull down anyone who excels.

A lot of it is due to the stranglehold that traditional media have on the Eastern Cape and the high cost of getting any message out.

MyPE Business is a dedicated offshoot of the long running MyPE publication and has a focus to showcase positively all business within the Nelson Mandela Bay area of Gqeberha, Kariega and Despatch.

At present businesses may get the following free services:

  1. Submit business news for free
  2. List their business, web site, social media and product for free.

MyPE Business will support NMB based business with as much free publicity as possible in an attempt to arrest the negativity and low rates of employment within the region.

We will shine a light on business in the area and help people make those vital decisions to invest in the area and create weaklth and prosperity for all.

Boilerplate and Editor’s Notes.

Alan Straton

Chief Cook, Bottle Washer and Broom Mechanic at MyPE
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.
