Residents of Germiston have voiced their frustrations about the ongoing load shedding.

Here’s what you had to say:

•  Elmarie Ellis said, “I live in Hazel Park and I know there are many other towns that are not affected by load shedding. Roodepoort is one of them, I have family living there they do not get load shedding. How is it that only certain towns get load shedding?”
