It will probably be good for my old home Port Elizabeth gets blown up .. it will be good if they can starrt afresh its so run down thats why we moved to the Western Cape this year .. Anyway PE will no doubt experience an explosion when they FINALLY move the Tank Farm out of the City Centre its been planned but ZERO Action for 30 years
