Its only a 4.3 mag earthquake but SOUTH AFRICA has an earthquake registered on USGS

OK, this is a really weird one for sure.
Nowhere near a plate boundary or magma hotspot, but still managing to produce a significant quake.

No historical seismicity for this region for obvious reasons.
Gonna wait for more experienced posters to input on this one, this makes no sense to me at all.

Something is going haywire.

getting a bit disconcerting now - had another earthquake happen today near Johannesburg, small around 3 mag. JHB does get earth tremors related to the intense mining in the area, but for me this is out of the ordinary because it is a day after the one on our east coast !

Holy fuck.. I had a dream a week ago about a quake in JHB.... mother fucker.... This is getting real interesting.

Foreshock. Stay safe in SA!

Thanks bro

also found it weird when i saw it on usgs,and from friends telling me how they actualy felt it. if the eq happened in johannesburg region it could have been explained by mining. but this one os out there where there aint mining going on. nothing realy to explain it. Hope its not a foreshock for us

Sadly... it is just the beginning... CT lies on a 130 million yea old dormant fault. It is waking up...

(just posted this another similar thread)

AND what about this

Cape Town, South Africa - Koeberg nuclear power station is sitting alongside a geological fault which gave rise to an earthquake in 1809 that was the same magnitude as last month’s earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand.

The Milnerton fault lies about 8km offshore of Koeberg.

Now things get interesting
