WATCH | Bheki Cele breaks down at Enyobeni Tavern tragedy

Earlier, Cele told parents they needed to take responsibility for their children’s whereabouts to prevent such tragedies from happening. This after he had learnt the tavern was frequented by many minors, some as young as 13.

“I stay with my boy who is in university in Cape Town. He came back home after 11pm on Friday night and I sat him down and told him you don’t come home after 11pm,” Cele said. initial speculation was the patrons were exposed to some form of poison as none of the bodies they could see had visible injuries. Bodies were seen lying as if patrons collapsed suddenly while dancing or in conversation. Some bodies were seen slumped across chairs and over tables.

“This tragic incident which is being reported by international news platforms requires that we pay attention. “As a mother, my heart breaks as I imagine the anguish visited upon the parents of these young people. As a leader, my immediate concern must be to provide a proper understanding of this moment and how we can support those affected,” she said.

The DA said it was “shocked” and “saddened” by the incident. The party also called on police to investigate and bring perpetrators to book.
