“What is very sad during our youth month is what happened just the other day in East London. The deaths of these young people. I don’t know what they were doing in a tavern and the way they have died I don’t know how they have died, but really a very tragic event and I’m quite sure all of us would want to say and convey our condolences to the parents and the relatives and hope that everything will be done to find out what happened and then take the consequences that are. A very sad day.

Mbeki was speaking in Houghton, Johannesburg, at an event to mark his 80th birthday earlier this month.Police have yet to confirm the exact circumstances of the deaths.The death of 21 children at eNyobeni tavern in East London, has brought back memories for residents in Chatsworth of the Throb nightclub tragedy in 2000.“It does bring back memories regarding our Throb incident that happened here in Chatsworth.

“What are the kids doing in a nightclub? What are the parents doing about it? They shouldn’t have been in the club in the first place. How can the club owners allow kids in a club where are the regulations.”
