The tremor could be linked to the earthquake that hit the Philippines

An earth tremor has just hit Durban and was even felt as far as Pietermaritzburg.

Many people felt the earth shake right under their feet and inside buildings.

The tremor could be linked to the earthquake that hit the Philippines yesterday (October 30).

The 6.5 magnitude quake hit the island of Mindanao, the US Geological Survey said, in the same area where a strong tremor killed at least six people on Tuesday.
