Members of the South African Police Service's (SAPS) forensic department take measurements about 300 metres away from a scene where people died from a gas leak at the Angelo informal settlement in Boksburg on July 6, 2023. At least 16 people, including children, have died after a gas leak at a South African informal settlement near Johannesburg, emergency services said on July 6, 2023, revising the death toll after some people were resuscitated. Fire and emergency services received a call around 8 pm (1800 GMT) on July 5, 2023 about a gas explosion, but on arrival they discovered it was "a gas leakage from a cylinder" containing a "poisonous gas".
