Joburg CBD Explosion | Nozintombi Miya provides an update on the situation in Joburg CBD on Friday

Johannesburg City Manager Floyd Brink says there is no need to evacuate any of the people who live on Lilian Ngoyi Street, formerly called Bree, following a blast on Wednesday afternoon. At least one person died and 48 were injured - eight of whom are still in hospital following the blast. Brink says they have identified three possible causes of the blast as investigations continue. They are the ignition of methane gas in underground storm water systems due to untreated sewerage. The ignition of natural gas, mixed with air, in this case oxygen in underground stormwater drainage systems or service ducts. The third possibility, is the ignition of gas from a pipe burst.
