Fireworks at Germiston Stadium

Residents near the Germiston Stadium were amazed to hear and see fireworks at the stadium yesterday, October 6.

This came as a surprise as they had no idea why there were fireworks.

The fireworks were among the activities that took place at the opening ceremony of the Transnet Rural and Farm Schools Tournament.

A GCN journalist was present at the ceremony and confirmed that the fireworks were a celebration of the official opening of the tournament.

The tournament is scheduled to take place until Wednesday, October 8.

The GCN is awaiting comment from the metro and the organisers of the event as to why residents in the area were not informed beforehand.
