Germiston looked like ghost town on Monday morning as many businesses closed their doors during the national shutdown called by the EFF.
In the Germiston CBD, the Golden Walk Mall was open but there were very few shops operating inside.
The Flora Herb Wellness Clinic, operated by Caiphus Kgoale, was the only business open along Railway Street which leads to the Germiston taxi rank “Our clinic was open even during the 2021 July unrest. Protesters never troubled us. But I understand why the rest of the business community decided to close around here,” Kgoale said.
“We have been monitoring the situation since the morning. Protesters tried to block Railway Street next to the Engen garage but we chased them away.
