Seventh heaven 7’s rugby action awaits fans D
uring December, the proverbial seventh heaven will once more become a firm and very exciting reality when Nelson Mandela Bay plays host to the South African leg of the IRB Sevens Rugby World Series.
On December 13 and 14, spectators will be afforded the thrilling experience of seeing the world’s best on the field, while off-field a world of wonders awaits, as the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro and surrounds rise to the occasion with their customary hospitality and an abundance of spectacular sights and sounds to absorb. According to Port Elizabeth-born, veteran Blitzbok-forward, Frankie Horne, he could think of no better venue to host the South African leg of the HSBC IRB Sevens. “PE is known as the ‘Friendly City’ and this really is true.

way in which supporters here carry the players is not found anywhere else in the country.” Tourism hot-spots like the Addo National Elephant Park add to the perfect bouquet for tournament supporters. Not only can supporters view world-class 7s rugby, but also world-class tourism attractions.

Jonker Fourie, Chief Executive Officer of the Emfuleni Corridor Tourism (Ectour), echoed Horne’s sentiments by saying that the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro and surrounds offer more treasures than even most locals are aware of. “The allure of our attractions lies as much in the ease of access as in the variety of what
