A big earth tremor rocked various places around Johannesburg just a few minutes before 7 am on Friday.
The tremor, which lasted for around four or five seconds, happened at 06:56am and was felt across many places in and around the city.
Social media users started tweeting that they had felt it too, with some saying they thought they were the only ones who had felt it or perhaps they felt it because they were "high".
In the West Rand, the tremor was also felt, with some cars stuck in traffic having their alarms go off.
Johannesburg is prone to tremors due to mining activities and blasting around the city. Gauteng Weather said it measured 3.7 magnitude on the Ritcher Scale.
