Discovering Lauries Bay in Port Elizabeth

While looking for a video to post for this week's Video Friday post I found this World Rugby (previously IRB) destination video for Port Elizabeth as host of round three of the IRB 7's World Series. I'm just wondering where they found the number they are throwing around for PE's population.

Hiking the Bushbuck Trail in The Island Nature Reserve

Jannie & Baksteen "Living in P.E." music video
