JOHINNESBURG: Emergency services were called to the Anubeni Tavern in Scenery Park at midnight on Saturday. South African police are investigating the deaths of at least 21 people at a nightclub in the coastal city of East London. The majority of those killed were 13-year-olds. However, the exact cause of death of these people is not yet known. According to sources, the minors had come to the nightclub to celebrate after completing their school exams. But the shocking thing for the police is that if these minors are under 18 years of age, how did they get admission in this club!
- No visible signs of injuries were scattered on the bodies’ tables and chairs during the police investigation.

The police investigation did not show any visible signs of injuries on the bodies or on the club tables and chairs. “We cannot confirm the cause of death at this time,” said Sianda Manana, a spokeswoman for the health department. In addition, they informed that postmortem of the bodies would be done so that the cause of death of the people whose bodies were found could be ascertained. “The victims were between the ages of 13 and 17, which raises the question of why alcohol was served to minors,” said Police Minister Bheki Selle.
When the incident was reported to President Cyril Ramaphosa, he sent a message of condolence to the families of the deceased. “I want to know that so many young people gathered in a place that is for people over the age of 18,” Ramaphosa said in a statement. The owner of the club said that I don’t know what actually happened, when I got the call in the morning I was told that the club is very crowded and people are pushing to reach the liquor counter.
