I’m looking to start my own business and would love to learn from a female entrepreneur in Port Elizabeth who has experience running their own company. I’d really appreciate guidance on the challenges, strategies, and lessons that come with building a business.

If you’re a business owner willing to share your insights (or know someone who might be a great mentor), I’d love to connect—maybe over coffee! ☕

Open to learning, networking, and growing (I'm in marketing and web-development, mostly front-end but I do full-stack)

Hello

I am travelling to South Africa from outside country. We'll be in port elizabeth for a day and then we plan on renting a car and driving till cape town and perhaps keep the car for a week.

We depart from South Africa from Capetown

Are there rental services available that provide one way rentals?

Ive recently started learning how to fish and am way in over my head when it comes to figuring out which spots at the beach are good for fishing at. Any reccs?

Which one is better

23M here.

Where is everyone?

Been looking at joining groups like hiking, but joh! It's all the older folks (nothing wrong with that) and there's no younger people.

Is there a reason for this? Is there a secret cult that I'm not apart of where all the younger adults are hiding?

Not a clubber at all, but I doubt that's the only place!

I have a 3,5 year old boy, I’m looking for clubs etc that I can enrol him in for a sports club where he can interact with age mates etc.

Are there any in demand trade jobs here in pe or any one who owns a business looking for workers

Goodday

Does anyone know when there's going to be change in PE? I don't know if it's just me but it really just seems like nothing is being done about anything? For example the public pools were (specifically by kings beach) closed this past December even though we had a ton of visitors? The public toilets along the beach front have been off limits since I came back? (In 2022). There's a bunch of street lights that don't work in many areas. I'm not really educated on when and what the municipality prioritises their budget on as I really don't see any change? I was reading the history of Port Elizabeth, there was so much more done during the 1800s and 1900s even though everything should be much easier to do now than before?

Please let me know if I'm talking nonsense

Hi everyone I'm wanting to know if there's a bus that goes from moffet on main to walker drive in the mornings (7-7:30). I can't seem to find any bus schedules online..

Remove if not allowed.

I’m looking for someone (preferably a woman) to go to the gym with me. It’s the Metro gym in Kabega. I’m a 24 year old girl and I don’t want to go alone 🥲

Hey everyone. Just recently moved to Walmer and wanted to know what fun activities or place there are available. Recreational activities like tennis etc would also be nice.

Hi everyone, I’m struggling to find a reliable nail tech in PE. My acrylic nails keep chipping or coming off within a week, which has never happened in my 10 years of getting them done in Johannesburg. Can anyone recommend a great nail tech for acrylics who has weekend availability? I’d really appreciate it! I'm looking to get this done

Hi, I created a post a while back about support groups for people with disorders and found that there really aren't any, my psychologist and I are going to create one for people who have been victims of any kind of violence, it won't be just about trauma dumping etc, it'll also be about healing and what to do going forwards. Leave a comment if you're interested in joining.

After seeing that post about coffee shops the other day, I thought I’d ask: who are your favourite roasters for buying beans to brew at home?

Any local roasters you’d recommend? Maybe some hidden gems in PE/GQ that deserve a shoutout?

Is there money to be made in this city?

I've successfully made a few new friends at my local park by just walking up to them and saying merry christmas and since then I've hung out a few times with them. Problem is we are all different ages some younger some older. I want to meet people around my age who have similiar interests like gaming, anime and working out etc. I want to know where would be the best place to meet new people either online like on fb or here on reddit. In real life I also gotta practice, where do many single or lonely people go where they wouldn't be too annoyed by someone walking up to them and just talking about whatever? Any tips would be great as I'm losing more friends as the years go on. I'm open to physical hobbies too like hiking and doing artsy stuff.

Hi All,

I am in a big bind. My financial situation is in dire straits. Whatever i earn monthly does not cover the necessary expenses anymore (very basic things, no luxuries at all). I do have student loans and a credit card that's basically maxed out at the moment, and I need to find a reliable second income to get out of this hole.

I am TEFL certified but don't know where to begin to find a remote teaching job that guarantees an income. I am not creative so can't do crafts or bake either since I don't have an oven. I am good at doing data entry and analysis. All the remote (part time) jobs I've found for data entry online was a bust as I never heard back from the companies.

This second income needs to be part time as I have a full time job during the week with some weekends where I have to work.

Any ideas on what I can do to generate some form of extra income to supplement my current income and get myself out of this position?

All input will be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone,

It's my fiancé's birthday tomorrow and I want to take her to watch the sunrise, anyone have any idea of a safe place I can take her tomorrow morning to watch the sunrise?

I am visiting and need my fix..

Hello! I'm currently planning a honeymoon in SA and am looking to fly out of Port Elizabeth headed to MQP very early in the morning. I'm just curious if anybody has any recommendations for a safe place to stay that has a washer/dryer. Also, if there are any recommendations for easy things to do and or places to eat that would be much appreciated.

I've done some research already on reddit and there seems to be a lot of mixed feelings about Port Elizabeth so just looking to get some more advice before booking anything. We will be coming from Plettenberg Bay.

Can anyone recommend a good seafood restaurant and if possible price ranges

Hi All,

I’m conducting a short survey to gather insights on how people interact with public services like healthcare, transportation, and utilities. The goal is to identify common challenges and explore how an online platform can help citizens provide feedback and improve service delivery.

The survey is completely anonymous and takes less than 10 minutes to complete. Your input will directly shape the development of a tool aimed at making public services more transparent and accountable.

[Take the Survey Here] https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd2IN9W8XWfJJIyiF0QgBDDb8SpWWQ8NXvu2yg-WIWl5TD50Q/viewform?usp=dialog

I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences. If you have any questions about the survey or the project, feel free to ask in the comments or message me directly. Thank you for helping us make a difference!

I've recently moved into my father's place and unfortunately he doesn't have wifi, and I really need wifi as it is essential for my line of work. I was wondering if anyone could recommend me a decent wifi package that is also cheap? I would consider getting Fibre but I don't think my father would appreciate his front lawn being dug up and I'm on a tight budget atm. My girlfriend has a portable uncapped wifi so I was thinking something similar to that that

Thank you redditors of Port Elizabeth!

Hi everyone, I'm at my wits end and decided to try Reddit.

I'm moving to PE from EL due to an Internship I'll be starting in Jan 2025 (Yay!) I am looking for a place to rent preferably furnished. My budget is between R4000 to R5500 must include parking and wifi.

I am looking around Summerstrand, Lorraine, Walmer or Humewood.

If you know of many places, please do hmu. I'm at a loss now.

Thank you in advance :)

UPDATE!! Thank you everyone for the advice 🥺 I read all the comments and I decided to look on FB and Gumtree.

Excited to say I found a place in a nice neighbourhood in Summerstrand. It's a one bedroom flat in a nice house, good amenities and a parking space for R5700. Grateful. Thank you everyone!
