Liesel Kruger shared her frustrating daily commute with the GCN.<\/p>\n

\u201cI drive through Germiston\u2019s CBD every day,\u201d she said.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cAll the roads in and around have been worked on and big trenches dug across the roads.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have tried to fill these trenches with sand but it doesn\u2019t help.\u201d<\/p>

<\/div>\n

Kruger, like many other residents, would like to know when the roads will be fixed properly.<\/p>\n

The GCN sent a query to the Ekurhuleni Metro and received the following response:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe on-going project in the metro will be completed in June 2016,\u201d said Themba Gadebe, spokesman for the metro.<\/p>\n

Gadebe claims the metro\u2019s contractors were not responsible for the trenches dug across roads such as Meyer and President streets.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people responsible for the trenches are Eskom and\/or Dark Fibre,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe roads department will be following up with these contractors as they did not comply with their way-leave conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n
