The report declared:
"After a magnitude 6.2 offshore earthquake struck at approximately 19:10 local time on 26 September."
However, Professor Andrzej Kijko, believes more quakes are set to follow. The director at the University of Pretoria’s Natural Hazard Centre said that Cape Town could imminently experience yet another earthquake and this one is going to be big.
According to Kijko, the quake will cost the Mother City at least R10 billion. Although he can't say exactly when it will happen, he does believe the strength of the earthquake will rock Cape Town - literally.
