The hot topic of conversation on the Germiston City News Facebook page for the week, February 3 to 9, was:<\/p>\n
\u2018Illegal activities\u2019 anger residents<\/strong><\/a><\/p> Residents in Marguerite Avenue in Primrose are at their wits\u2019 end over the alleged illegal goings-on at a house in the street. The many problems have been going on for a long time and residents have received no help from the metro or the police.<\/p>\n You said:<\/strong><\/p> Charmaine Nienaber: \u201cIt is time something was done about all the illegal squatter homes in backyards. It is simply unhealthy, unhygienic and unbelievable that they pop up all over, without any legal building permits, yet we can’t do anything about it, because no one listens.\u201d<\/p>\n Anet Cronje: \u201cI know of other properties that are doing the same thing. People rent a house and not long after you will see two, three families living there. Before long they are renting rooms and the police are doing nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n Join the conversation and have your say by visiting the Germiston City News\u2019 Facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n Shares: 7<\/strong><\/p>\n Hav<\/strong>e a story?<\/strong><\/p>\n Contact the newsroom by emailing: Melissa Hart (Editor)\u00a0<\/span>germistoncitynews@caxton.co.za<\/a><\/strong>or Leigh Hodgson (News Editor)\u00a0<\/span>leighh@caxton.co.za<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>or Kgotsofalang Mashilo (journalist)\u00a0kgotsofalangm@caxton.co.za<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Remember to visit the Germiston City News on the following social media platforms:<\/p>\n Facebook<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Twitter<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Instagram<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n YouTube<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Or add the GCN on\u00a0<\/b><\/span>WhatsApp 079 406 1181<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>or\u00a0BBM (BBM Pin: 7F102137)<\/strong>\u00a0<\/b><\/span>today, to get all the latest news.<\/p>\n Catch-up on more local news with our sister newspapers\u00a0<\/span>Bedfordview Edenvale News<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0<\/span>Alberton Record<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>Kempton Express<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
