Residents in the Johannesburg area took to social media on Friday morning in reaction to a tremor that was felt across the city just before 07:00.
While some were concerned, most reacted with typical South African humour, with one person apologising, saying he wouldn't have beans for breakfast again. News24 attempted to contact the Council for Geoscience but could not reach anyone for comment. Once comment is received, it will be added.

WATCH: Motorist robbed, beaten in Joburg trafficIt might have been a case of being at the wrong place at the wrong time when a Johannesburg motorist was robbed in peak time traffic.

South Africa is one big crime scene! Mr Cele, we need to invest in a helicopter or two that will always be hovering above 'sweet spots' for these criminals...we need to move with times. Vans and horses cant help anymore. Stop with the silence, we need decisive actions. We paying tax and dont mind doing it.

Alternative routes for Joburg motorists after M2 closureMotorists are advised to use alternative routes as the city prepares to do work on the M2 motorway between Crown Interchange and Maritzburg Street. How can I get a message to JHB council, to recommend that business owners, allow staff to work remotely during bridge repairs. It may assist with reducing traffic congestion.

Sesona_Ngqaks Well if roads were serviced and upgraded regularly this would not happen. This closure is causing problems to lots of people trying to get to work. Watch out for accidents!!!!
