Months after 21 teenagers died in East London’s Enyobeni tavern, their parents have some answers.
A toxicology report shows they suffocated to death but the parents aren’t happy with the answers.
This comes after it emerged that traces of methanol, which is a poisonous chemical normally used in manufacturing cleaning detergents, was found in all the victims’ bodies, according to a press briefing by the Eastern Cape clinical service in July.
A forensic pathologist also said the initial autopsy report ruled out binge-drinking, carbon monoxide poisoning and a stampede as possible causes of death.
The tavern owner, who is facing charges of violating South Africa’s liquor laws and selling alcohol to minors, is expected to appear in court on Friday for a pre-trial hearing.
