A fire at the Telkom Tower in Hillbrow which broke out this morning has been put out.

It is believed that faulty lighting may have caused the fire.

The blaze was limited to the soccer ball on the outside of the tower.

Officials have stated that they do not expect disruptions to any broadcast, internet or telephone services as the inner workings of the tower have not been damaged.

On the north eastern side of the tower there is huge black smudge where the fire took place.
