The Friendly City and Its Wind

Gqeberha, still widely called Port Elizabeth, is known as the windy city for good reason: Algoa Bay gets sustained coastal winds most of the year, which has made it a centre for wind energy as well as for South Africa's motor industry.

The clock: the city keeps UTC+2 and sits near Addo Elephant Park, which protects one of the densest elephant populations anywhere.
