The Eastern Cape Health Department is keeping mum about the cause of death of 21 patrons at Enyobeni Tavern in East London.

Latest development in Enyobeni Tavern tragedy investigations:

The 21 teenagers died during an event at the tavern on the 26th of June. Speaking on behalf of the families, Khululekile Ncandana says families will address the media as soon as they all receive the report. Manana has indicated that the department will follow protocol and forward the document to the police.

“We solicited a legal opinion on the matter, and we were then advised that this is really what it should be so that’s what guides us at this point in time. There is nothing sinister about what we are doing and in terms of what we said, that document that we’ve read out to the parents, is a document which will be available. The parents know what to do and they are aware in terms of how to access the document in terms of the PAIA Act.

They say the Department further told them that they are not allowed to get a written report of the results to the findings. They have indicated that now, they are looking for legal advise to get to the bottom of what transpired at the tavern.

They must find a lawyer who can take on this case pro bono. This is utter nonsense & heartbreaking. The parents of the Enyobeni tragedy have a right to have access to information. What's really going on here? Also no arrest/case for at very least culpable homicide 💔💔💔
