We had the same thread a year ago. I flew over the course en route from Durban to Humewood (Port Elizabeth), and it looked like it had a lot of character, even though it seemed quite narrow and a bit of a "bush" landscape in between the holes. It is good news if they've widened it out. There are not many great courses in South Africa [above a 6 on the Doak scale] but I suspect that East London is one of the best in the country ... but you can't tell that to the South Africans, whose rankings all focus on longer, modern courses.
