Picture 2012 City Hall on Main Street
On arrival in 1820 British Settlers were greeted by virgin grassland devoid of absolutely any kind of development at all. No shops, businesses, roads, reservoirs for fresh water, hospitals, schools or bridges. NOTHING! Everything was built from scratch and mirrored from our homeland in England. The money for all this effort came from banks back home because there were no banks in Africa, and millions of British Pounds were poured into Port Elizabeth to make it what it is today. Of course African politicians shoot their mouths off (clanging cymbals) about "colonialists" but between them they actually all think it was a great idea judging by those high end cars parked outside our city hall. Now you know why you're slaving away to pay your rates and taxes!
