You may have seen the triumphant tweets from twits associated with cities such as Durban<\/a>, Johannesburg<\/a> and Cape Town<\/a> saying; \u201cSorry for you but Durban<\/a> is now the friendliest city in South Africa.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here is some VITAL information for you to use when defending Port Elizabeth<\/a> as the official Friendly City:<\/p>\n

The sad people averring that Durban is the friendliest city in South Africa are, unfortunately for them, basing their opinion on a so called \u2018global survey\u2019 that only focussed on three cities in South Africa \u2013 Durban, Cape Town<\/a> and Johannesburg<\/a>. The 2013 Anholt-GfK Roper City Brand Index ranked Durban ahead of Joburg and Cape Town as the friendliest metropolis.<\/p>\n

Who was it who said about statistics; \u201cLies, lies, lies and more lies\u201d?<\/p>\n
