At least 22 young people were found dead at a nightclub under mysterious circumstances in a township in South Africa’s southern city of East London.
Brigadier Tembinkosi Kinana said on Sunday police were alerted by members of the public to the incident at Scenery Park.
“The circumstances under which they died are under investigation,” Kinana said, adding it was too early to determine the cause of death of the young adults aged between 18 and 20 years.
The bodies will be transported to state mortuaries where relatives are expected to help identify the victims, said Siyanda Manana, a spokesperson for the Eastern Cape provincial health department.
“We are going to immediately be embarking on autopsies so we can know the probable cause of death,” he said. “We are talking 22 bodies right now.”

#SouthAfrica #EnyobeniTavern #EastLondonDeath
This sort of things happens far too often *since the start of the Wuhan outbreak.*
– Thanks China 🇨🇳!
Wut?
sunday is my most favorite day of the week. I am happy that this happened on a saturday night. This excites me very much and this incident is perfectly aligned with my inner desires. The world is free from 22 problems
Why didn’t you keep your mouth shut to say something like that
Horrible non-human.
The devil himself so cold and disgusting
@All Things Beautiful facts
East London? 👀
😂
This isn’t GTA
Yes, Scenery Park, East London, South Africa.
Blame the cominizers for that
@Toby’s Blind Life it’s actually called Mdantsane but the imposter changed it when they stole the land
May be killed by ghost or demons
May be celebrating at the place of demons residence
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Do you watch a lot it anime?
I agree
You mean a “Tokoloshe”?
They were probably poisoned
One thing comes to mind- Fentanyl
@Cindy Landry this is south africa, we don’t have a fentanyl problem
@Lubz M. you guys are soft
@FriedChicken because we don’t have a fantanyl epidemic?
Very strange indeed. What happened to the people who ran the bar? Did they die too?
@Sion Barzad carbon monoxide does..its very quick..
backyard poorly distilled alcohol perhaps
@fidel catsro Possibly, but I am skeptical because this assumes everyone drank the same thing at exactly the same time, kinda like a mass suicide. And then what about the workers? CO2 or some other airborne poisoning is more likely since poorly ventilated cooking equipment can easily make a toxic atmosphere inside.
@s3tione maybe its a new camry corona developed by some lab and tested there perhaps?
It was said on the news, they were trampled, 23 teens, by there own people. It was overcrowded and somebody used pepper spray?
Somebody drugged them all
Sounds like cheap booze!
✔️
100% chance it’s alcohol poisoning or carbon monoxide leak.
Poison?
sounds like poison

Very bizarre, new graduates…imagine.

The devil herself is happy
💉💉👀
Bad moonshine, owner prolly got cheap and bought some bootleg liquor that had a bad run
Im thinking that or a bad batch of drugs.
Nothing like that here, if anything gets brewed, its called mampoer. But they were trampled not poisoned.
Gas leak?
It is Covid
Obviously not.
Monkey Pox 2.0
The bar was probably buying cheap alcohol that wasn’t safe and sold it to these kids for a quick profit. May they rest in peace.
@Garry Johnson Who knows what they used to make the alcohol … some criminals use anti-freeze and other dangerous liquids.
@J K. Then that would be straightforward poison,. I mean, if we are talking about Alcohol in sense of drink, then the most sketchy thing we could find would be moonshine..and it would be quite easy for forensic to find the cause,.the fact that they kind of troubled to find real cause is quite bothering me.. 🤔
exactly my thoughts
Some Caribbean island tourist destinations were substituting methyl hydrate for drinking alcohol; e.g., Dominican Republic, parts of Mexico, etc.
Tear gas in an overcrowded place, poor ventilation and many others attempting to get inside, while those struggling to breathe inside tried to exit.
I don’t know why, but I’m thinking about Astroworld?
I know why , because it’s similar . Blood sacrifice you are right
😢
My condolences to the families. The pain of losing a child is universally sad. May God bless you, comfort you and bring you peace.
W H O Agenda 21
My condolences to the family rest in peace guys only God knows if there is something behind back to the sender this the last days .
Unusual that their doesn’t seem to be survivors. My first thought is carbon monoxide poisoning.
I thought about the same. If such a large number of people perished at the same time without apparent injury, this might be a possible explanation. If it was a poison, it would be unlikely to affect all people simultaneously in the same manner, as the dosage would vary due to the amount of consumption. But carbon monoxide has the potential to knock out everyone in the room at once. The building shown doesn’t appear to have any windows, so bad air circulation could be an attributing cause. Possibly a failed A/C-system? A fault in the piping, allowing for a buildup of CO from decaying material? Some kind of motor running inside, such as a generator?
Either way, my condolences to the family.
There are 4 in hospital in critical condition.
The worst thing is that they are all between the ages of 13 and 17. By law they were not allowed to be in a tavern.
@Frojo Jo Consistent with the theory though. Younger people typically have a higher tolerance to CO.
According to social media footage of the night of the incident, shown on local news, the place was packed to the gills, the entire street actually. The event apparently had a lot of social media promotion running up to the weekend, which resulted in a large number of underage attendees and from the videos circulating in the local news cycle, the whole thing spilled over into a street bash that went on until the early hours of Sunday morning. . . So as of yet it’s unclear whether only those found inside the actual tavern where the only ones effected or not as investigations are still underway. What’s been said though is that the tavern itself does not meet basic safety regulations, having only one door for egress and ingress. Initially it had been thought some sort of stampede had occurred, from the sheer volume of patrons in attends.
Do you think they all where drinkers. I’m sure not all where. This is very strange. I think all the drinks had some kind of arsenic. This has to be investigated.

— TRUE DEMOCRACY√ —
This much is clear: GOVERNMENTS that protect these rights are ultimately more stable, SUCCESSFUL and SECURE.
Suppressing ideas never succeeds in making them go away.
WTF
Yes! 🤔
Al Jazeera English 🤗
🤔 And we will welcome all elected, peaceful governments — provided they govern with RESPECT for all their PEOPLE.
This last point is important because there are some who advocate for
DEMOCRACY only when they’re out of power 🤔
Maybe yes! 🤔
🤔 Once in power, they are ruthless in suppressing the rights of others.
So no matter where it takes hold, GOVERNMENT of the people and by the people sets a single standard for all who would hold power 🤔
White south african poisoning 👀
Carbon monoxide poisoning maybe? It’s cold down there, maybe a bad heater? Awful!😢
poorly distilled backyard liquor perhaps
Or methanol contamination
That seems like a good guess. There are good reasons for most government regulations….so that stuff like this does not happen.
@Jtzkb Some would have survived and just gone blind, though, I think.
@Kyle Smith blind? then its alcohol poisoning
Each nation gives life to this principle in its
own way, grounded in the traditions of its own people.
RUSSIA does
not presume to know what is best for everyone, just as we would not
presume to pick the outcome of a peaceful election.
But I do have an
unyielding belief that all people yearn for certain things:
the ability to
speak your mind and have a say in how you are governed;
confidence in
the rule of law and the equal administration of justice;
government that
is transparent and doesn’t steal from the people;
the freedom to live as YOU CHOOSE . √

Uncontrolled Africa children
As a south African my view and what I have seen in south Africa there is way too much alcohol consumption across basically all groups and ages in RSA.
When I first heard of this incident my first thought was contaminated home-brewed alcohol but hopefully the autopsy results will be made public as to the cause of death
Don’t say all , some of us hate alcohol. We are part of South African community. You can’t generalize , South Africa is big we have Christians too
I think I saw this as the start of a horror thriller film once. It didn’t end well for everyone…
Methanol?
Perhaps gathering in bars isn’t the best thing in the world
Alcohol is haram!
Or become a Muslim
Last week a white pastor was planning to poison some black community in south Africa, this is out of ordinary.
LIAR
Poison. Start looking for it at the bar workers.
Clubs are satanic places so be careful going there.
The answer is easy—-Blame the White Man.
It may be the work of vecna😞
Nothing to joke about satan
*RIP* 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Youth alcohol consumption and safety are problems yes. Youth alcohol consumption is no good.
Where is the evidence that the deaths were caused by alcohol. One thing I am sure is that it was not coz of alcohol
@ferdinard kipas
I didn’t say it was the cause.
I said youth alcohol consumption is a problem.
Especially at that age I agree
Must be some home brewed alcholol poisoning. Must be lethal to kill so quick.
It’s not
@Qhawe “It has emerged that Carbon monoxide poisoning was the likely cause of the death of 21 teenagers at Enyobeni Tavern in Scenery Park, East London on Sunday.
Sources close to the investigation told News24 they believe the children – aged 13 to 17 – were killed by toxic fumes emanating from a petrol generator suspected to have been used inside the tavern.”
It was Eskom’s loadshedding that required a petrol generator, which killed them.
This is so sad
Somebody spiked the jungle juice 🧃
so sad to see obesity has reached these places.
So you thought everyone is skinny because it’s Africa 🤡
If those who died where foreigners then it’s the dudula criminals who murdered them
anthrax?? or it could be illegaly unsafe distilled alcohol
OH Yes, Yes poisoning by Alcohol? Patents will go to same aftermath?
Idiots drinking gasoline instead of alcohol
There is so much that is not being said in these reports, it’s infuriating.
1. Were there any survivors or did everyone in the club die?
2. Does that include the employees or was it just the patrons
3. When we’re the bodies discovered and by whom?
Toxicology report hopefully will be swift and provide answers.
@its Papa lol bro it’s a taven ,it’s not a culture it’s a almost like a night club but at a low budget. They where more than 200 teens there … but even so hiw did the other ones day I don’t know . Bodies found while and after party 🥳 🎉 .
They where security guards but most likely they where drinking to .
You must have been watching too much CSI
There were survivors…one of the survivors stated that she could not breathe, she couldn’t catch her breath, and that she collapsed while walking through…this is horrifying!! I pray justice prevails for these young souls. My heart goes out to the families.
300 young ones inside this establishment trying to get air!!!TRAGIC.
We’re they vaccinated .single or double.? Because strange deaths in this day and age its either governments or spiritual attack. God will reveal it
they all would not fall same time ????????????
@movado F U haters why not
Thank goodness it wasn’t a Zimbabwean or Nigerian own Tavern…
Uthethi kaka wena
@zukile gantsho but vele coz that would start ixenophobia if you know south africans you know sometimes they dont think
Thetha kaka Moyo hlala ku lo dump yezwe lakho
@Lerato Selota c 🤡
Ew so dirty
Sad indeed the future ……. So sad.
Putin did it.
must have been poison of some kind. This is terrible
These poor kids and there families
GOD BLESS YOUR SOULS AMEN 🙏😔😔🙏🙏🙏
This is so horrible. I hope we get answers so that this doesn’t happen again anywhere else in the world.
What were kids of 13 to 17 doing at a tavern??? Where were their parents? Obviously not looking after their kids!!
Other Kids here (South Africa) act as if they sleeping. The minute parents sleep they go out and come back before everyone wakes up. So you won’t even know they out. It’s just a norm. Night life is big here.
@Siphumelele “Khule” Mkhize that happens everywhere 😉
🕊🙏🏾🕊My condolences to their families & love ones 🕊
🕊No parents should go through this🕊🤲🏽🕊
🕊Parents need to talk to their kids in early age about drugs & alcohol. It doesn’t help that everywhere you look , kids are Encourage to do drugs & get drunk by making it look like it’s fun🕊
Nice video
omg!
Aljazeera never shows good news ,never .
Looks like Delft .
The tavern was too full. People who were there said security sprayed pepper spray to control the crowd. So people inside couldn’t breath also couldn’t get out as crowd outside was pushing to get in. The tavern also had one door. To the see crowd that was there search “Nyobeni Tavern”
I’m staying a few kilometers from the area where this tragedy happened. Reports says kids died of carbon monoxide poisoning. Youngsters were aged between 13 and 17 years. In South Africa we have what is called “loadshedding” during winter season (Google the term). A generator was used to keep the electricity on. They say the generator was the cause of the poisoning.
Really? How terrible, the loadshedding is absolutely severe this winter. This is heart breaking😢 at least DA is doing a great job in Cape Town, hopefully we can all be free from ESKOM one day!
Thanks…
Karkoubi , the 22 people that die in the travern i wonder if there is link to what took place ???
HAPPENED A FEW DAYS AGO….CHEMICAL POISONING…..
KIDS AS YOUNG AS 13 DRINKING ALCOHOL
Poison gas
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. (Revelation 20:15)
And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. (Revelation14:9-11)
Saturday night again here in South Africa 15 people were shot dead in a club in Soweto 💔💔💔
