What is the problem with
"Gqeberha"?

It is pronounced P-o-r-t E-l-i-z-a-b-e-t-h.

Don't think people are complaining too much about having to upchuck in their mouth when trying to name a holiday destination.

I think it's more the fact that a perfectly good name has been replaced at great cost for exactly zero reason.

Still, would like to go to Port Elizabeth again soon.
