Do you want a metro merger?
What do you say about Krugersdorp potentially becoming part of a metro?
The News set out to the Anthos Shopping Center to ask shoppers about their thoughts concerning the proposed metro merger.
The proposal by cooperative governance minister Pravin Gordhan to merge the Merafong, Westonaria, Randfontein and Mogale City municipalities into a single metropolitan area, has been a hotly debated topic in council these past few months.
Most shoppers did not know about the merger, while some knew a bit and very few knew exactly what it was about.
The response was overwhelmingly negative towards becoming a West Rand metro, but a few thought otherwise.
