Emergency workers were
unable to save the man who
died when a wall fell on him

An earthquake has struck
South Africa, killing one
person and trapping
some mine workers in a
town south-west of
Johannesburg, emergency workers say.
The US Geological Survey said
the 5.3 magnitude tremor
was near Orkney, a centre of
gold-mining operations. One person died after a wall
in Orkney collapsed and
emergency medical service
ER24 said one mine in the
area seemed to have been
significantly impacted. The earthquake was felt in
neighbouring Botswana and
Mozambique. ER24 said the evacuation of
miners had been ordered
from shafts around Orkney
but one mine had reported
problems. "Our crew is heading to the
mine where miners are
reported to trapped at 11
shafts," ER24 spokeswoman
Luyanda Majija said. The BBC's Milton Nkosi in
Johannesburg says the area
around the city has a history
of mild tremors largely
because of the nearby gold
mines, which are some of the deepest in the world. However geologists describe
this tremor as a significant
event, he says. It rattled windows in high
rise buildings in
Johannesburg. Our reporter says South
Africa's largest earthquake
to date was recorded with a
magnitude of 6.3 in the
Western Cape town of
Tulbagh in 1969.
