Police Minister Bheki Cele says the deceased are aged between 13 and 17.
Meanwhile, The National Liquor Traders convener Lucky Ntimane says the blame lies with the owner of the establishment. The tavern owner, Siyakhangela Ndevu has committed to working with law enforcement agencies to get to the bottom of the matter. “As a businessman l didn’t think this would happen. My apologies to the affected families. Let’s allow the police to do their work.”Team of experts to investigate the tragedy
No such thing as naughty children, blame is totally on naughty parents, however age limit should be enforced by establishments that are awarded liquor licenses.
We can blame the owner all we like but truth is parents need to play a role in their children's upbringing. I mean how many parents, uncles, aunts etc. have been sending their under-age children to buy alcohol for them? Sames applies with cigarettes
What if the owner of the tavern was a foreigner
I think it should start now where South Africa must close numbers of the tarvens coz clearly many of them they are hosting kids under the age of 18, we all don't see that till incidents like this happens.
Why is alcohol abuse in the youth so prevalent? Is it because they are hopeless about the future? I wonder.
Justice? Justifying for the lives lost? Hands and eyes on ... to get all who are responsible for this massacre in the South.
According to u MaBoys OscarMabuyane there'll be a review of LL. If this is TRUE then the 10+ taverns/shebeens in SP must be CLOSED bcoz ALL OF THEM are in between houses. Mnguni might be the ONLY one which complies [if so it's by a whisker].
You wonder what were they doing at tarven..... church is the only place for children
For what though cause also parents failed in this regards...is true that we as south Africans are a blaming nation ..those parents should take accountability
21 or 22 can't someone count? Newscaster says 22 and captions read 21 ?😭
Ag man there is more taverns the sports fields voetsek SA government
