“The car went up into the air and landed on another taxi. I think that taxi saved us because we didn’t land on much impact.” #BreeStreet #JoburgExplosion #SowetanLIVE https://t.co/SXMm2Okk61 pic.twitter.com/k6FvcN3a45

Egoli Gas believes it is unlikely that the explosion in Jhb CBD, Bree Street, JHB was caused by a gas pipeline or leak. Our network has experienced no pressure loss which indicates the gas pipelines are intact. Our customers in the area continue to receive gas uninterrupted. pic.twitter.com/Lv7qFY3LfY
