Egoli Gas said in a statement that it was unlikely that the explosion “was caused by a gas pipeline or leak” in its network, which it said “has experienced no pressure loss, which indicates the gas pipelines are intact”.

Mulaudzi said: “We are unable to confirm the cause of the explosion, and the investigation is still ongoing. We have to start investigating along that pipeline, but it might be illegal mining in the area … But we are not in a position to confirm the cause.”
