The luxurious cruise ships that have been gracefully entering and exiting our port have been upstaged a little by the SA Navy ships docked for “The Armed Forces Week” taking place in Port Elizabeth 13th-21st Feb 2016. These navy ships, along with a submarine, were open to the public over the weekend and scores of eager visitors queued in the baking sun for their turn to board, view and explore. We watched from afar. It is thrilling to witness an event of this magnitude taking place in our city. It is exciting to see cruise ship after cruise ship offload thousands of tourists who are bursting to take in all the wonderful experiences we have on offer in and around our city. We love PE. BUT…a mini war exercise is scheduled for Sunday. We do not support this. We are deeply concerned about the impact this exercise will have on our environment, on the land and in the ocean. We look forward to an update on information from the environmental warriors.
