21 teens likely accidentally poisoned in East London tavern

The still unexplained deaths of the teens, some of whom were celebrating the end of school exams and others a birthday party, have brought an outpouring of grief and shocked a nation accustomed to injuries linked to a binge drinking culture. Authorities ruled out an earlier-touted notion of a stampede.

“I'm so devastated. We are so angry,” Maxhabiso Sibotoboto, 50, whose 17-year-old granddaughter, Monelo, was among the dead, told Reuters by phone from a church memorial service for them. Monelo did not live with her parents, because her father had died and her mother worked a long way from home, he said.

Not accidental at all... Someone willfully handed them something to drink that was poison. Period.

Is South Africa falling apart? So heartbreaking to hear of TWENTY ONE CHILDREN losing their lives under the most tragic circumstances....God Help us ..it cannot go on like this

Don't rule out the shared hubbly.

Why were the 'Teens' in a tavern in the first place? SAPoliceService

There is nothing accidental about underage children in a tavern drinking or smoking anything. What bullshit.😡😡😡😡

That’s a very strange poison only affecting teens and no one else in the tavern at all !!! This is not logical unless only the teens were served with something ‘special’ which leads to murder ! When is our society going to get rich at all costs The country and now it’s youth

Don't rule out fake liquor?

I just need to know what 'accidentally' means before I ask a khweshin
