Have your say on this week’s hot topics
The two hot topics of conversation on the Germiston City News Facebook page for the week, October 17 to 23 were:

Students and staff of Germiston High School were terrified when approximately 300 members of the Germiston branch of Cosas (Congress of South African Students) descended on the school, last Friday.
You said:
- Angel Marks, “Why on earth must students stop paying school fees? People want everything for free, children must learn that paying school fees is the right thing to do.”
- Marina le Roux, “Such a sad day for my old school. These youths should be in school themselves, not creating havoc. This is what happens when basic discipline is absent. Thoughts are with the staff and students who had to endure this ordeal.”
- Marie Jones, “They want an education but carry on like barbarians?”
- Ola Jimoh, “No. No. No. God help us.”
2. Some Germiston residents will be without water this Saturday: https://on.fb.me/1GYyLt5

- Elaine Basson, “The outage had already started before the work begun.”
