Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: Then and Now - Baakens River Bridge: We all know the Baakens River flows through Port Elizabeth and that most of the Baakens Valley is protected green open spaces all the way from Sunridge Park, past the 3rd Avenue Dip, through Walmer and Mill Park to Settlres Park. It really is a pity that the municipality doesn't look after the well being of the river better and that the open spaces aren't utilised as much as the potential it … [Read more...] about Then and Now – Baakens River Bridge – Featured Blog

Could THIS be the real reason why the Swartkops River is so polluted?
Could we blame the apartheid government and colonialists before them as being ultimately responsible for the current effluent problems being experienced on the Swartkops River. No, hang about, maybe the blame should lie fair and square at the feet of the colonial and apartheid architects? Who, through their demonstration of bad planning and arrogance, need to share the blame for polluting this valuable estuary. Have a look at the image above - 'borrowed' from the Friendly City of Port … [Read more...] about Could THIS be the real reason why the Swartkops River is so polluted?

Despatch Bridge Jump Woman Discharged
Port Elizabeth - The policeman went back to where a woman was presumed drowned, with his torch providing the only light, because he carried the hope that maybe, just maybe, she was still alive. And Constable Bruce Brits's instinct proved him right. There, in the dark, he thought he saw movement, and jumped into the river to pull the woman to safety. He does not see himself as a hero though. He says he was just doing his job when he waded into a fast moving river on Sunday night to rescue a … [Read more...] about Despatch Bridge Jump Woman Discharged
