was the first port we docked in in South Africa.It exports 8,000-10,000 cars a month.It may seem a lot,but it is not, and the number reflects the decline in motor industry worldwide.And that decline can be sen all around Port Elizabeth.It is a drab, sad city,as if carrying the problems of the whole country on its shoulders.80% unemployment is a horrific figure.And this is what Port Elizabeth has.The surrounding land is acidic,nothing can be grown,so agriculture in the area is non-existent.There are two patches of rich soil, one of them grows citrus fruit only,with 80% of it exported.
