Gqeberha: the roads, the vehicles and the workshops
Wind is the first thing anyone mentions about Gqeberha, and it matters for wheels too: sand and salt blow across the beachfront roads at Summerstrand and Humewood, dulling lacquer and pitting alloy over time. The city is also a motor manufacturing centre, with assembly plants and component makers in the metro and at Coega, so car carriers and parts trucks are a constant on the N2. The harbour and the port of Ngqura add container traffic. Wheel repairers, tyre wholesalers and alignment shops are spread across Newton Park, Korsten, Struandale and Deal Party, with more along William Moffett Expressway. Potholes on older suburban roads, kerbs in Walmer and gravel farm roads on the edge of the metro round out the work.
