But I do apologise, and we will look into this," the owner said.

Police Minister Bheki Cele addressed parents outside the mortuary where the identification of the bodies took place. At the same time, a maximum deployment of police resources has been deployed to find out exactly what happened.

I have investigated myself and found that I am innocent

I am surprised how people have money to buy alcohol but not enough for food education or a home.

So the government gave them license to operate in such environment

There is s lot wrong here with this tavern and what the owner allowed. Let's see what 'law will take it's course'.
