East Coast Urban experiences #DurbanTremor in studio
Bongani was on air when he felt the studio rocking and
managed to capture a brief moment of it on video.
This was the second quake of the day. The first one originating near Krugersdorp measuring 4.6 on the Richter scale in the morning. The second, larger earthquake originated in Botswana measured a whopping 6.5 on the Richter scale. We definitely felt the earthquake in studio and it got us very nervous.

I was busy preparing for my next link. I felt the desk moving but I thought that it was my producer Simon just messing around. Simon was also thinking the exact same thing; he thought I was moving the desk so we both just sat there in silence until our technical producer Trinity ran in and asked if we had felt the earthquake.
The second we realised what was going on ,the nerves kicked in. I was going live in 5 seconds so I ditched my prepared link and just spoke about what was happening live on air.
My producer caught the moment on camera.
We took some voice notes from you on the WhatsApp line and this is what you had to say about the tremor:
