Earthquake hits Johannesburg, South Africa, 1 killed

A 5.3 earthquake this morning August 5th shook buildings in Johannesburg and surrounding areas.. killing one person and injuring at least 3 people. The tremor which lasted just one minute reportedly broke glasses, cracked walls and aftershocks were felt by many.

According to Werner Vermaak, a spokesman for emergency responders, at least one person was killed and three people injured. The man was reportedly killed when a wall of a disused mining building fell on him in the Orkney area of Johannesburg, which is where the quake was centred.

The other three people were hurt when the quake damaged a training center at a mine, said Phoka Sefali, a receptionist at a hospital in Orkney. "The roof fell on them, but they haven't got serious injuries," he told Associated Press.

The quake was also felt in Pretoria and Hartbeespoort, a nearby resort town.

Hmm! This is new to me...I thought earthquakes rarely, or never happen in Africa? I might be mistaken sha. I know that even in that movie, 2012, when the whole world was collapsing, the map of the world was shown, and Africa was intact.

So bad that a family lost someone to this.

Keep yourself and your loved ones sanitized always. Have hand sanitizers everywhere in the car, on your desk at work, in your handbag. Have your bath twice a day and sanitize your whole body. Give your driver hand sanitizers and co..Stay away as much as possible from populated areas... Eat your own cooked food. Use multivitamins daily.. Exercise...and you can never over sanitize. .Overall pray daily..Blood of Jesus over all of over us. Amen

A Nigerian man was killed yesterday by SA police in Rustenburg South Africa early hours on 4th August. He was beaten to death. so sad and he was innocent, just that he was having an accomodation and went to squat wt another Nigerian not knowing that police has been targeting the owner of the house and he became an escaped goat. Rest in peace Akirika.
