Three houses surrounding the tavern, which has become the center of attention over the last nine days where 21 lives were lost, are fenced using barbed wire.
“It always gets packed here on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. It gets so congested that one cannot move in or out of their property.”“They drink inside our yards, even on that day, they set up tables outside and drank inside my yard. It has been a difficult situation.” Ntsangani says they had accepted their situation but have now decided to try to protect themselves from the trespassers who would come to their yards after their partying at the Enyobeni Tavern.
Ntsangani says, “For the first time in ages, the past weekend was quiet and for the first time in a long time we had peaceful sleep during a weekend.”
I hope that so-called tavern has been closed down for good. The owners have to account for their allowing minors in to drink alcohol.
