This weekend is a huge sporting weekend in Port Elizabeth. The Nelson Mandela Bay Sevens is taking place at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium. The NMB 7's is part of the International Sevens World Series and the only leg taking place in Africa. I took the KidZ for day 1 yesterday and we had an awesome time. The weather was superb. The turnout was good (better than last year). The vibe was great and people were having a ball. Today is day 2 and at the time of posting this the BlitzBokke has already qualified for the semi-finals against Australia after beating England. Go Bokke!
After this year's event the contract to host the event is up for grabs again and I'm really hoping with all my heart that it will come back to Port Elizabeth. It really has become one of the city's flagship events and sending it to Cape Town will make it just another event hosted in the Mother City. PE really benefits a lot more from it with exposure, the economic spin-offs and just giving great entertainment to top notch sports hungry fans.
