During the month of March 2024, a total of 15 events were recorded and analyzed, with 2 local and 13 regional events. Most of the regional events were from Botswana. The biggest local earthquakes were of magnitude 2.9 and the epicenter was in Binga. Binga is part of the Zambezi Basin which is influenced by the Kariba Dam (reservoir induced seismicity) and the Deka fault (plate tectonics). This area extends from the northern tip of the country, in a south-westerly direction through Lake Kariba, Devil's Gorge, the Deka Fault, to the Westerly edge of the country. This region is the most active seismic region in Zimbabwe. Most of the earthquakes in South Africa and Botswana are mining induced events.
