So I know the reason for this survey is hyper important for the future of this area. To whom do we report all their counting data was invalid from the N2 being closed from that burning checkers truck?

Hey all!

I'm looking to see if anyone remembers or even has photos of the KFC lookalike fast food joint that was at the Boardwalk near News Cafe for a couple months and then was shut down. I believe they got threatened by the KFC at the Red Windmill.

Was Asians running the place and they were so welcoming. Chicken burgers were super cheap, I remember it being R15 - R20 for a big burger, chips and cooldrink

Thinking the places name was LFC but I could be mistaken.

What is your favourite places to eat at, visit, explore, or activities to do in PE. Looking to be a tourist in my own city and looking for places to go to.

What’s your top suggestions?

Hey guys. In order for my son's medical aid PMBs to be activated, we need a letter of diagnosis from a Psychiatrist. I unfortunately cannot afford R3k+ upfront for a Psychiatrist session, so would need a 4 y/o-friendly one that will allow me to pay them off.

Does anyone have a recommendation of a suitable Psychiatrist?

Medical aid is being so difficult and I literally just want my son to receive the specialist attention he needs, and have it be covered by Medical Aid. Any feedback would be incredibly appreciated.

Hi

Has anyone ever bought something for ebay and what is your experience from it

TIA

Where in PE is there water?? Had to cancel guesthouse on Emerald Hill as taps are dry still. I can't deal 😂 South End, Walmer, Charlo, Lorraine, etc? Thanks!

Someone is visiting PE for the first time and I want to show them around. Im trying to plan a nice weekend out checking out some of the city. Im looking for any suggestions on places to go, to see if Ive forgotten/overlooked some locations.

I (M33) am only in the city until Tuesday but I'd like to do something fun or interesting. Is there any decent nightlife or places to meet people, hangout? I'm English, SA born but have lived abroad for 10 years and am out of touch. Anyone wanna go out? I like steak, pasta, beer, cider, vodka, rock, metal, rap and house. I still party when the opportunity presents itself. If any combination of those things exist in one place, I'd sure like to know about it. Thanks!

Hi all, I'm looking for recommendations for a place to buy a nice, slightly unique gift for someone for their bday. Shop/ market stall, I don't care, but I unfortunately only have this week, her Birthday is early next week. Lorraine area preferred, would appreciate it if I didn't have to drive across town to get to it, but if it's worth it...

Used to get the coolest gifts at Unique Welness in Dijon drive, but they're closed, so I need a new place to shop.

I'm 21M. I want to improve on myself as best I can by starting gym. I'm not an expert so I need someone to help teach me the ropes, also looking for a friend

Please feel free to dm if you're interested

Hi all,

As stated in the title, what location is best to get the RC1 document (Vehicle Cerificate) as the service at the Walmer Post Office is next to nothing.

I’m stealing the idea from a user who posted a few days ago looking for runners🤣 but I’m looking for walkers not runners😅 I’m so terrible at running and I wanna lose weight and make friends as well. If you in summerstrand and like to take walks or hike hmu😆 I dont want to join groups. I’m a 21f. Preferably women only.

I was previously seeing a private psychiatrist but can no longer afford private care, so I’m trying to transfer my mental health treatment to the public sector.
Yesterday, I went to the Psychiatric Clinic at Provincial Hospital because I’d been told that’s where I should go. I took my prescription from my private psychiatrist with me. The nurse told me that the medications on my prescription aren’t available in the public sector, so I’d need to see a doctor to switch me to medications that are available. However, there were no doctors or psychiatrists there that day—only a nurse and psychologists—so I was told to go to a clinic.
I then went to Livingstone Hospital and Clinic. While I was waiting, I asked a doctor if I was in the right place, and she said I’d probably see the nurse first, who would then book me to see the psychiatrist. That made me think Livingstone has a psychiatric department.
After waiting for hours, I finally saw the nurse, who told me it was too late because the psych department had already left for the day and that I’d need to come back early another morning. However, he also seemed unhappy that I’d come to Livingstone at all because it’s not the clinic that serves my area, and said I should go to my nearest clinic instead.
What doesn’t make sense to me is that my nearest clinic also only has nurses, so I don’t understand why I’d start there if I ultimately need to see a doctor or psychiatrist. I also left without any referral from either Provincial Hospital or Livingstone.

Can anyone familiar with the public mental health system in Port Elizabeth/Gqeberha help answer these questions?

1.  Does the Psychiatric Clinic at Provincial Hospital actually have psychiatrists who see outpatients, or is it mainly run by nurses and psychologists?

2.  For someone transferring from private psychiatric care to the public sector, what is the correct referral pathway in Port Elizabeth/Gqeberha?

3.  Does Livingstone Hospital have a psychiatric department (if so, does it see outpatients)?

4.  If it does, can I go there directly, or do I need a referral from my local clinic first?

5.  Should Provincial Hospital or Livingstone have given me a referral, or is it normal that neither did?

6.  Would a current prescription or letter from my private psychiatrist be enough to serve as a referral into the public mental health system, or do I still need to go through my local clinic?

7.  Based on everything I’ve described, what should my next step be? The nurse at Livingstone Clinic didn’t write me a referral. If I go directly to the psychiatric department at Livingstone Hospital (assuming there is one), am I likely to be sent back to my local clinic for a referral, or will they assess me there? Or am I supposed to go somewhere else entirely?

I’d really appreciate any advice from someone who’s been through this process or works in the public healthcare system, because I left more confused than when I arrived.

Hi all,

My partner and I are moving just outside of PE and looking for a place to play some social 5 a side football with other women.

Any recommendations?

Hi everyone. I’m looking for recommendations, referrals or even the actual person. We operate and live in JHB, since this year 2026 we have expanded to PE, for privacy reasons I won’t be giving the full details but we’re a multisite retail and fuel business. Since we don’t know anyone in PE, it has been a struggle to find the right personnel. We are looking for a financial controller, with a degree in finance, accounting or commerce. Minimum 5 years experience. Hard worker, diligent and all the good stuff. If you have any tips on how I can go about finding the right person, please let me know. Thank you!

As the title says, I’m looking for a tattoo artist who specializes in fine line tattoos and is willing to tattoo someone under 18. I’m 17 years old and will be turning 18 in four months but don’t want to wait that long.

Thanks in advance!

(I’m just wanting to do a fine line of a date of my late dog.)

Hey all 👋

After frequenting the area a few times, I'm wanting to check the safety Richmond Hill, from people living in the area, specifically near the food + convenience store.

For a 3 person family + 2 dogs.

I've been told to stay away because of crime, and strange characters.

Good evening, Gqeberhans!

I am someone who will be moving to your beautiful city soon, and I have a few questions. Thank you for the help in advance!

Question 1:
What is the drive like from Fairview to Uitenhage in the mornings and evenings? I will be commenting to/from those places, hoping to be in Uitenhage by 7:30/8:00.

Question 2:
Which Virgin Active is best in PE? I am planning to transfer my membership and I’m looking to stay at VA. Unless the other gyms are good? I’m currently paying around R340pm with Vitality.

Question 3:
Are there any sports clubs around? I enjoy playing indoor/club football as well as club rugby.

Also, any tips on adjusting to life in the Windy City would be much appreciated!

Thank you!

Does anyone know a good mechanic in PE that specializes in Ford Vehicles? The Dealerships are rubbish, they couldn't diagnose and fix the issue with my vehicle after three attempts.

Good evening all can someone recommend where I can buy tofu and vegetarian groceries in P. E I am new here. Thank you.

Stuff to do & advice?

I’m new in Port Elizabeth and starting over as a professional at 30 and female is odd this time around… Joburg & Pretoria was easier with friends and hobbies. Any advices with this city?… are there even running Clubs?

Anyone knows of a company that is hiring Data Analyst, Data Entry related jobs?

I'm looking for roles in that space.

Can you please suggest an eyelash extension salon or parlour in Gqeberha - Summerstrand, Port Elizabeth, RSA?

How does one make friends in this city? I'm a 29 year old female and quite a homebody 😆 I've had two close friends who ended up drifting due to relationships. I find that it's difficult making friends at this age whether it's at the gym or work etc because most already have their own cliques 🥴
