Well half of Gauteng would probably disappear down sink holes, but anything beyond a minor tremor is hardly likely is it?

I wonder if our 'government' could handle this, seeing all the flooding and snow in catastrophes we had before and it wasn't their best performance coping with that and it wasn't even a big one
