Germiston: the ground, the weather and the yards

Factories and depots set the tone in Germiston, and prefab buildings follow them: site offices, guard huts, ablution blocks and steel frame offices beside warehouses in Wadeville, Isando, Elandsfontein and Germiston South. The homes side is varied. Older houses in Primrose, Lambton and Dinwiddie add granny flats and wendy houses, Bedfordview owners ask for timber garden offices and pool rooms, and Katlehong and Tokoza, to the south, build nutec rental rooms on busy stands. Board suppliers and erectors are close, so delivery is quick. Germiston Lake and the low ground nearby hold cold air in winter, and summer storms bring hail and lightning across the East Rand.
