After a long delay the department of geological survey and mines has confirmed an earthquake around Mankayane and Mangcongco. A team is expected to investigate the effects of the tremor and its origins today.
But no other major seismological center has mentioned this earthquake. The earthquake news became viral instantly through Facebook and Twitter in Swaziland. The reason for no record is a mystery. One may be the reason the intensity could be less (less moderate, below 4.5). We will have to wait till Swaziland's department of geological survey and mines provide any further data.

A light tremor was felt in the northern parts of KZN and Mpumalanga around 20:57 – lasted for a few seconds. We felt it in Vryheid, family in Piet Retief also reported feeling it. Would be interesting to hear where the epicenter was! - Johan Fourie
Was also in Paulpietersburg at about 9h05 our prefab house shaked so bad that we thought it is going to give in on top of us. We could hear and feel that it was moving away to the Piet Retief area. - Christine Wepener
