Hi PE :)
I've been thinking of moving to your city. Scanning property24 I see so many nice options in different suburbs but I have no idea which areas are considered "safer" and so I'm asking here.
Can I have some suggestions on which areas are considered "safer" and which areas you think I should exclude from my options in your opinion?
Is there anyone who can advise on the area, with baakens valley there how is the crime? Is the neighborhood watch active. My kids have moved to a school close by and the access from the area is good for work.
Thinking of buying.
I found jewellery and sold it to a pawn shop
I made the buyer aware this is not under my ownership...and i simply found it and was in need of some cash...he gladly bought it and took my details like ID etc...can I get in trouble for this transaction
I did not steal the jewellery directly from someone...I simply found it out and about...
I am an American, looking to retire in 3 years at age of 58, with my wife, plus a son who will be 19 by then.
Looking to leave US, as it's expensive and just the 'same old same old' thing for me, looking for someplace new and interesting.
I've been to South Africa on holiday and passed through PE, which seemed nice and laid-back then (it was 2001).
Plan would be to live in Northern Thailand during their rainy season (June through November), as my wife is from there, but then go elsewhere during the smoky season there (air gets so bad it's dangerous to go outside for more than 1 or 2 minutes). I was thinking maybe SA or Namibia from December to May, as that is summer there and air is clean, at least in coastal areas, and the people speak English.
Would PE be a good place for that half of the year? I had been to CT, but I see that it's gotten more expensive and crowded and crime there is bad. And JNB the same, plus air pollution and traffic. Durban was already really dangerous back then and seems to be worse now. PE seems a bit better on all fronts, aside from some wind.
I would not need to commute, so somewhere outside of town would be good. Would only need to come to town for food shopping and such once a week maybe. I would want to have a house in a safe area, maybe an estate, but nothing fancy. I was looking at Crossways Farm Village. Anyone know about it?
thanks!
Willing to buy

Hi All
I have a mobile app (Deals Magnet) that i plan to make available in the Eastern Cape, Specifically here in PE
This application is intended to strictly showcase Deals and Bargains from various stores and retailers. I know there are many apps out there that does the same. Mine is slightly different in that it ONLY displays deals and discounts AND there will be no irritating AD pop ups AND it will be more local and completely free to use
Please let me know what you guys think
I would like to have a list of hikes I can do in GQ Any suggestions?
My friend said that if I wanted to take my drivers test, I shouldn't do it at the Port Elizabeth traffic department because it's corrupt and harder to pass the test there. So can anyone verify if this is true please? Thanks
