FA-221 from George to Johannesburg (South Africa) with 152 people on board, was on approach to Jo'burg's runway 21L when the crew initiated a go around from about 500 feet AGL reporting a hydraulic failure. The aircraft positioned for another approach, this time to runway 21R, and landed safely stopping on the runway. The crew requested emergency services to report whether any smoke was visible and check their brakes, the fire commander responded there was lot of smoke from the left hand side and recommended to shut the engines down. The crew shut the engines down, the fire chief subsequently reported there was a hydraulic leak at the left hand side. The aircraft was towed off the runway.
