East London tavern survivor, 17, who lost two friends ‘rose from the dead’: A 17-year-old who survived the Enyobeni tavern tragedy says she “fainted for three hours and when I woke up I could hear a man saying I must be dumped among the dead”.

The teen, from Nompumelelo, alleged the drama unfolded when bouncers closed the door and a group of youngsters tried to get out while others forced their way“We were coming from upstairs aiming for the exit downstairs when pandemonium broke out,” the survivor said during a radio interview“More people coming from upstairs fell on us trying to force their way out through the exit downstairs while others were trying to get inside.”There were hundreds of people in a limited space.

Bouncers allegedly closed the door after the gas-like substance was sprayed. The survivor said there was no fight at the tavern before thealcohol and food was served to the patrons at some stage.“I asked a lady, whom I believe was related to the owner, next to me to give me a phone to call my parents and let them know“The lady asked my age and I told her. She asked me how I got to know about the event and I told herI saw a trending post on social media.

Five bodies from the tragedy have not yet been identified, the Eastern Cape health department said on Monday.
