Joburg explosion | Lilian Ngoyi Road repairs still haven’t begun

JOHANNESBURG - Nearly five months have passed since a gas explosion ripped apart Lilian Ngoyi Street in the Joburg CBD.

Underground methane gas was confirmed as the cause of the blast.

The damage has left most of the road closed, and the city hasn't started repairs yet.
