The dogs, Dreamer, Smokie and Lulu, were poisoned at their Olivier Street, Elsburg home and the family\u2019s garden furniture was stolen. Charn\u00e9 Redder told the GCN that when the family woke up they found all three dogs lying dead on the ground.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You said:<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0Retha Crous, \u201cThis is why it\u2019s much better to keep your dogs safely inside the house.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Rosemary van der Linde, \u201cMy garden chairs were also stolen. As a result all my dogs stay inside now, it\u2019s too dangerous for them outside, especially when the street lights are off.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Fernando Eliseu, \u201cThey should poison the people who did this.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>2.

The outage was reportedly caused by the theft of a 33KV feeder cable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0Michelle Nel, \u201cThis is pathetic. How can the metro say Tedstoneville is off when the power is on and only went off in the afternoon? Is the metro telling the truth or is it just plain and simple a lack of maintenance or demand for electricity during the winter months?\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Toy de Carvalho, \u201cThe next excuse will be that little green men are stealing the power for their UFOs.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"stream-item stream-item-below-post-content\">\n<div class='tenancy_slot tenancy_slot_1 jannah_ad' style='display: none;' data-query-id='910b91a28c5736478b51f879429cd741'><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join the conversation with the hot topics on Facebook this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1848,"featured_media":124475,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"hasGravity":false,"cxt_article_byline":"","cxt_disable_google_ads":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,2],"tags":[8297,1012,1003,1106,979,969,2730],"class_list":["post-124474","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news","category-news-headlines","tag-community-2","tag-east-rand","tag-ekurhuleni","tag-gcn","tag-germiston","tag-germiston-city-news","tag-leigh-hodgson"],"amp_enabled":true,"category_labels":{"Category":"News","SubCategory":"Local news"},"tag_labels":["community","East Rand","Ekurhuleni","GCN","germiston","germiston city news","Leigh Hodgson"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124474","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1848"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=124474"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124474\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/124475"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=124474"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=124474"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=124474"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
