Dozens of people living in Cape Town took to social media to report tremors in their homes.
JOHANNESBURG – A second earthquake struck parts of Cape Town on Sunday morning after Saturday’s incident.
Experts said Saturday’s 6.2-magnitude earthquake that hit the southern coast of South Africa on Saturday night had as much energy as an atomic bomb, but added there is no cause for concern as it was simply too far from any population to have a devastating impact.
The Cape Town Disaster Risk Management Center said the quake did not appear to have affected infrastructure or public safety.
The center, however, added that it is waiting to hear from the South African Geosciences Council before providing further comment.

But the US Geological Survey said the quake, which originated about 1,600 kilometers off the country’s southeast coast, does not pose a tsunami threat.
There have been no reports of casualties or significant damage caused.
