The owner of the Enyobeni tavern in Scenery Park in East London where at least 17 patrons inexplicably died in the early hours of Sunday is reportedly devastated by the incident.

Eastern Cape community safety MEC Weziwe Tikana-Gxothiwe said: “I have met with him and he is very much devastated. He said he cannot explain how the incident took place.”

Eastern Cape police spokesperson Brig Tembinkosi Kinana said detectives are on the scene trying to piece together events. Bodies were seen lying bizarrely as if they collapsed to the floor suddenly while dancing or in the middle of a conversation The publication said initial speculation was that the patrons were either exposed to some form of poison as none of the bodies they could see had any visible injuries.

He or she must be arrested

Just in .'Cele' we have called our Pretoria Special Forensic team 😔😔😔

Hey baphela bantu

I've seen the pics of the bodies. No trauma on all the victims. Even in a stampede the bodies would be limp. The bodies are stiff. Missionary. Drug overdose

I thought you’d saying he is debated behind bars

The same owner who would tell the parents whenever they complain to him about allowing underage age children in his tavern that he's not their keeper, they must discipline their children. Devastated my foot! 😡

This is beyond bizarre

Mxim

At least 17 doesn’t mean “17” lona, it means confirmed so far.

I still remember many pple attacked a mother who went to fetch her daughter at a groove. It is situations lke these that caring parents try to protect their loved ones from. The same pple are saying where were the parents when their children died at ENYOBENI?

Devestated SE MOER! EAST LONDON IS A GRAVE YARD TODAY BECAUSE OF THIS GUY.

Is it 17 or 22? Most media talks bout 22 school kids

The aftermath

Oh 😳😳😳🙄

What’s the meaning of the name Enyobeni?

Last week when the mother fetched her child. Woke people were like

Bheki and company shouldn't be allowed inside the tavern. It's a crime scene. We know how much he loves those cyime scene photos during investigations 😏

Divastation 🙄

Is satanic

He /she must be arrested and not be expressing their devastation without giving the nation answers.

Is the owner not suppose to be arrested 🤔🤔

He or She must tell the nation what happened and what alcohol did the youth drink that night
