It's very disappointing that South African bonafide residents could not undertake business that the foreigners do.... You can't blame any foreigners taking advantages in the gaps that locals provide them...... we're a democracy, after all ... But, it appears that South Africans are more intent on living off government grants, that's 18 million of them, living off 7 million active and direct taxpayers.....or, living off crime , and smoking up every cheap chemical that they can find..... And, yes of course.....in in another 30 years from now, people would be still led by the the nose to blame Jan van Riebeeck's grandfather, for their failures to govern effectively and efficiently..... We.....were supposed to be the Shinning Star of Africa..... Actually..... we're trying our very best to get to be worse than Zimbabwe..... Eishhhh, man.....How we were lied to.....

Couldn't agree more, you have nailed it, hoping and praying that enlightenment is coming to the masses and soon their view point towards business and opportunities will be different, however there is nothing wrong with the cut, copy and paste system... Learn from the Foreigners, take advantages that are available and do the same..... After all there is nothing wrong with competition!!!

No. South Africans are not bent on living off grants and such pittance. South Africans of all groups work hard for their money. However it is true that poor people around the world suffer much the same and depend on the same government support from the ghettos of London, the projects of the US and those on the continent. The difference is that our government hasn't yet succeeded in hiding the poor the way Japan has

History and origin of its name The suburb of Korsten was named after Frederick Korsten. He was one of the first traders to settle at Algoa Bay. It was established in 1896 but only began to develop after 1902 following an outbreak of bubonic plague in Port Elizabeth. The town’s Black population was forcibly resettled in nearby New Brighton. Frederick Korsten was the first recorded occupant on the now known suburbs Korsten and surrounding areas.Frederick Korsten, a Dutch Settler was born on 17 August 1796. He acquired the land known as Papenkuilsfontenin between Port Elizabeth and Uitenhage, renaming it image by Map Data ©2018 AfriGIS(Pty) Ltd, Google Cradock Place in 1812. The property was divide into 236 plots and sold off with the condition that the name of Korsten be retained. The current spatial layout is still largely based on these plots. Essentially, Korsten and New Brighton were both intended as dormitory areas on the outskirts of the town from which labour could be drawn. However, in their nature they were quite different. Korsten initially consisted of privately-owned land to the north of Port Elizabeth, which had been laid out as a potential village form 1853, once the farm of Cradock Place had been divided into plots. There was very little growth there until 1901, when removal of inner city locations. Relocation for people from (including Stranger’s Location) was intensified. At the stage, those who were being removed had two options: to be settled in the newly created New Brighton Township or go to Korsten. Korsten was favoured because it was outside the town limits and authority of Port Elizabeth and although colony law was applicable, it was practically unenforceable. There were also increased business opportunities and opportunities for land ownership. This resistance by Black families to being resettled in the model township of New Brighton endured until the 1930’s. The unregulated state of Korsten has led to a perception that the Korsten of the early 20th Century was a slum and was solely intended for those who were not White. For example, Terblanche, a local historian notes that ‘many poor Whites put up their homes in Korsten, because it was cheaper to do so. But Korsten was in fact one bug slum. For instance, the health conditions were shocking. It was a menace to the health of Port Elizabeth (Wintermeyer, 2015) Korsten Today According to the latest census, Census 2011, 3940 people reside in Korsten area[1]. The demographics are as follows:
