Residents of Pharoe Park, a housing project located on the outskirts of the Germiston CBD, marched through the streets of the city on Thursday in protest against poor service delivery and what they deem the exploitation of low-income households.<\/p>\n

The protesting residents marched from the Germiston Magistrate\u2019s Court in President Street to the Germiston Civic Centre to hand over a memorandum, escorted by both SAPS and EMPD officers.<\/p>

The project, sponsored and managed by the Greater Germiston Inner City Housing Company (GGICH), consists of 437 units – nine bachelor, 142 one bedroom, 221 two bedroom and 65 three bedroom units.<\/p>\n

Residents claim that the agent, GGICH, is milking the residents by making the rent too expensive to afford and not maintaining the units.<\/p>
