Bloomberg Quicktake published this video item, entitled “Johannesburg Explosion Injures Dozens in South Africa’s Economic Hub” – below is their description.
South African authorities investigating the cause of a massive explosion in Johannesburg’s central business district have warned residents to avoid the area because of the risk of another blast.
“A second explosion may occur and therefore we need to isolate the affected streets and areas, and we’ve done that” Panyaza Lesufi, the premier of the central Gauteng province which includes the country’s biggest city, said at an event on Thursday. “We are urging people to stay away.”
The incident close to a major transport terminal on Wednesday afternoon killed at least one person, injured 48 others and resulted in major damage to streets, according to the premier. While initial speculation pointed to a burst gas pipeline, the city’s supplier Egoli Gas Ltd., said a leak was unlikely to have been the cause as its systems hadn’t experienced any loss of pressure.
