Experts Called to Probe KwaZulu-Natal Quakes - South African... allafrica: SouthAfrica
A series of 'minor earthquakes' in KwaZulu-Natal over two days has prompted the provincial government to call in experts to determine the cause of the tremors,. MEC for co-operative governance and traditional affairs Sihle Zikalala said:"The department has established contact with the Council for Geoscience, a legislated body to determine the extent of tremors and potential impacts in the affected areas," said Zikalala.
Zikalala added:"The department is liaising with all disaster management teams in the districts to assess whether there was any damage to infrastructure. So far no injuries or fatalities have been reported." The epicentre of the first tremor was in the Mnkangala region, about 40km north of Kokstad while the second was nearly 40km northeast of Greytown and 30km east of Tugela Ferry. Eldridge Kgaswane of the Council for Geoscience said there was no reason for the public to panic.
