The victims of the tragedy were 21 with the youngest being a 13-year-old girlaccording to a statement from the Eastern Cape police spokesman to Reuters.
Regarding the details of the incident, the local newspaper DispatchLive adds that “the corpses were scattered on the tables, chairs and on the floor”, without “any obvious signs of injury”.
Following the events, the authorities are expected to proceed with the investigation with a toxicological report.
South African President Cyril Ramafoza has expressed concern about the conditions prevailing in the country’s bars, as minors are unable to obtain alcohol legally.
