The City's Fire & Rescue Service Spokesperson, Jermaine Carelse, said his team was sent out to investigate but could not locate the source of the smell.

"Our call centre phoned several entities – Afrox, Astron, the Airport, the Harbour and the Air Pollution department; however no one reported any gas leaks."

"The situation is being monitored, but at this point, the Fire Service is not able to pinpoint the source of the smell," added Carelse.

He called on anyone with information that could help shed light on the matter to report it to the City's Public Emergency Communication Centre on 021 480 7700.
