ONE MORE REASON NOT TO LIVE IN JOHANNESBURG

02 Sep 2010 by Jasmine Stone in Uncool

Besides the fact that Gauteng will soon be wallowing in a soup of watery mining acid, the Earth has decided to weigh in with yet ANOTHER reason not to live in Johannesburg.

News24 reports:

Johannesburg – Residents of the Witwatersrand may in future experience more and bigger earthquakes due to water rising underground in mined-out basins.

A geophysicist for the CSIR, Olaf Goldbach, weighed in with a keen insight.

“I sat in my home in Weltevreden Park and watched TV just after 21:00 on Thursday when the ground started shaking. I really think we will be experiencing more of this in future…

“This again will have financial implications for insurers when buildings suddenly collapse.”

Well, maybe for YOUR insurance company, Olaf. But not here at 2oceansvibe. We struggle to make insurance claims when we’re covered in a pile of rubble.
