Magnitude 5.0 Earthquake Hits Johannesburg, South Africa by HonNL: 8:46am On Jun 11, 2023

A 5.0-magnitude earthquake has struck the South African city of Johannesburg, waking up people and causing damage to some buildings, seismologists and residents say. Shaking was widely felt across the city and the region as a whole.

The earthquake happened at 2:38 a.m. on Sunday and was centered just 6 kilometers south of Alberton, or roughly 16 kilometers southeast of central Johannesburg, according to seismologists.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said the earthquake had a magnitude of 5.0, while South Africa’s Council for Geoscience put it at 4.7. The quake struck about 10 kilometers below the surface, which is very shallow.

People said the shaking was strong enough to wake them up and some homes suffered relatively minor damage, but there were no immediate reports of injuries. “The whole house shook for about 40 seconds,” one resident in Alberton said.

If you felt the earthquake, let us know where you are and what you experienced by sending us an email: tips@bnonews.com

This is the strongest tremor in the Johannesburg area since March 2019, when a 4.9-magnitude earthquake hit near Soweto. In 2017, a 5.2-magnitude earthquake hit near Stilfontein.

Good to hear no life was lost. Meanwhile Tinubu is only trying to position his men for monumental and easy looting by sacking Emefiele and Kyari. Don't be deceived that he's fighting corruption. A thief will hardly probe other thieves. Let him probe Buhari govt completely and we will take him serious. Time will tell

The signs of the coming of JESUS CHRIST is hitting every hook and cranny of the earth.

At the same time , Hundreds, thousands, millions and billions of humans are departing the earth and heading to Eternity on daily basis.

JESUS Christ is coming!
Make your ways right with JESUS.
Live in the Conciousness of your Eternity.
Everything on this earth is vanity ! You will not pick a dime to go with you to Eternity.

I was just watching the news now and it's kinda scary... Growing up we didn't know earthquakes could ever happen in this country... But now they're starting to happen more frequently.

Nonsense. After watching the video,I discovered that it was just a tremor and not earthquake as the headline supposed.

They are looking for sympathy and donations from the west and Nigeria in general,earthquake ko,etiquette ni 🤫

Alright, thanks we have heard you but for now your Emefielle will rot in jail and Kyari gone for good.

You better go and be arranging for beans and garri to soak for your Emefielle the better for you because Emefielle is not coming back soon.

Thanks.

You’d be stuck in your religious beliefs then time will pass you by.

I’m sure you don’t even understand God outside the Bible the white men gave you.
