Soweto earthquake

Just two weeks later, the people of Johannesburg were awakened by the magnitude 2.2 earthquake that originated in Soweto.

The Earth Science Council has confirmed that Thursday’s earthquake occurred at approximately 03:15 am in south Johannesburg.

Gauteng has been hit by a series of disasters in the past few months.

Joburg explosion

Last week, the Johannesburg central business district was hit by an explosion, killing one person and injuring 48 others.

Thirty-seven cars, most of them taxis, were also damaged during the blast, which destroyed parts of Bree and Resik Street.

Technicians believe the cause of the Berry Street explosion, in Joburg’s central business district, was a collection of gases that had built up in the sewage system.

Port Fisherville explosion

Just a day after the devastating blast rocked Johannesburg, emergency services responded to another blast in Braam Fisherville, Soweto.

Johannesburg EMS spokesman Zuleli Kumalo said the blast was caused by dynamite attached to a car battery. Three people were injured in the explosion.

Chlorine head explosion

On Friday, another explosion hit Gauteng. This time in Ekurhuleni. It is understood that the explosion occurred on Friday morning, at Chloorkop, Kempton Park. Ekurhuleni emergency services spokesman William Ntlady said one person was injured in the blast.

Boksburg gas leak

Earlier this month, at least 17 people including women and children died after a gas cylinder containing nitrate oxide leaked at the Angelo slum camp in Boksburg.

Gauteng Panyaza Chief Minister Lesufi said preliminary investigations revealed that illegal miners in the area were using nitric oxide to extrapolate what is perceived as gold from the soil in the informal settlement.

The mayor of Ekorholeni, Sifwele Ngodwana, offered his condolences to the families of the victims.
