The cause of the explosion in Johannesburg Bree Street is still under investigation. However, there are a few possible explanations.

One possibility is that the explosion was caused by a gas leak. There have been reports of gas leaks in the area in the past, and it is possible that one of these leaks ignited, causing the explosion.

Another possibility is that the explosion was caused by a bomb. There have been a number of terrorist attacks in South Africa in recent years, and it is possible that this explosion was the work of a terrorist group.

However, it is also possible that the explosion was caused by something else entirely, such as a construction accident. The investigation is ongoing, and more information is likely to be released in the coming days.

• The explosion occurred on Wednesday, July 19, 2023, at around 6:30 PM local time.
• The explosion took place in Bree Street, a busy commercial street in Johannesburg.
