I'm happy it's not anc's fault that caused this deaths,you would have heard all kinds of criticisms

😨😨😨😨😳 andisexakwe

Whatever you do ... don't vote for the ANC EVERY AGAIN!!!

LeratoMannya A memorial service would have made sense to that fake funeral service 😩

Sophie_Mokoena Let’s earn together from this investment platform, I never believed it until I confirmed it myself. All thanks to Crypto_Kings8 for making me financially stable

The jokes are really written by the politicians in this country. Andidikwe

State the true facts please. Say after me '19 empty coffins '

Yoooo ibuhlungu lento

Empty

And our honourable Pres saw it fit to speak on empty coffins 🤷💁🤦 sataflika 🚮🚮🤞

So the empty coffins are to be moved to every individual funeral? This government has no shame. And wena SABC you are reporting as if there was a mass funeral? We are led by fools.

No wonder Ramaphosa fell asleep, he knew this was just a skesh..

EnyobeniTavern all this how much it's cost hosting. Who won the tender PresidencyZA . We know Millions already gone.

So, will they be sold as used after this, like demo cars...not sold as brand new! On a serious note, this was pointless. Pictures of the deceased would have sufficed and call the event a memorial service and not a funeral service. But then...emzansi!

When you think you have seen it all the ANC government just outdo itself 🙆🏾‍♀️

This government is something else

Who made that decision and for what?

Phala Phala everyday twice on a Sunday

Sad chapter!

Cyril is showing South Africans how empty promises look like. The president have done nothing for this country in the past four years and he was excelling on empty promises. Why are we surprised 🤣🤣👏👏

And that name aai

GomotsegangMumu you were sitting there watching empty coffins?

Kanti siyahlolelwa yilo Government. Thina Bantu siya wuhlonopha umcwabo. Empty coffins to make a parade. Why didn't they organised a memorial service

This was a PR exercise. It had nothing to do with the families, just for publicity so the government looks like it cares. Disgusting.

It a horror movie. I'm more confused

😭😭😭😭😭😭

EMPTY COFFINS ⚰ ?

South Africa under Ramaphosa. What is so nice about a coffin or a funeral?

It's absolutely painful to see young people died this way,I never forget this devastated disaster of death in my life

Welcome to RSA

ANC EC have to be the most inventive at chowing the money - cos wow

What are they going to do with the empty/unused 19 coffins? Was it a necessary expenditure

Hahaha we need psychiatrist to evaluate the government of SA who the hell does this❓last it was 100 empty graves. PhalaPhalaFarmGate SK Khoza

Is it the government who's organizing these kid's funeral?

Why do we support nonsense, what is this? So what are we saying to the youth of South Africa? Go and do things and when you die we will support you. This is no different from the Ricky Rick thing. Making every stupid and negligence act public Julius_S_Malema I'm also shocked.

Empty coffins were families wishes apparently, so the bodies don't get moved from pillar to post

LeratoMannya Was it necessary

no one make a joke about what happened at enyobeni tarven.if it was in kzn. ppl were gonna make jokes. badelele basho konke. kodwa uma kuyinina sikhala sonke. tribalism in south Africa.

I don't even want to comment because wow

LeratoMannya Imagine sendihamba ndiyokhalela i coffin engena nix 🙆. What if kune 🐀phakathi ? Drama engaka yona

At this point we are a laughing stock of the world 😢😳 why empty coffins?

Ne go jewa zaka as always and when its revealed President is shocked, lere tsenya mathlo Presinident CyrilRamaphosa

Someone is getting paid ke for these empty coffins

So the whole day we've been watching a staged funeral service😳

Empty 😲 wasteful expenditure strait

Thumamina is taking us for a ride.

This is laughable

Ihaba ko darkie. Imagine how many thousands spent la.. Just for cameras!

The government continuously throwing money down the drain. Nothing new here.

LeratoMannya I’m forever confused when it comes to things this government does…

Mcebisi Jonas's idea

Lethiwe_Lethyy

LeratoMannya South Africa mara 😩

This means only 2 died😏

But PresidencyZA what was Ramaphosa there for now🤔🤔🤔 Are you guys okay upstairs eintlik

SizweDhlomo I don't think we can refer to kids as patrons...they were underage children

WHY

Yohwe, someone just wanted to invoice here. Ayikho enye

Should have been called a Memorial. No coffins.

What sick joke is this

Whose idea was it anywhere.empty coffins

This is bullshit. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Eastern Cape officials always wilding, they miss no eating opportunity

So it was just a dry exercise 😐 ya neh Mzansi

It can’t be… surely it can’t be

Every single day this government shows me just how little sense they have😏

RebrandedClint I thought all of them are in today service .

LuloCafe Someone saw it fit to procure 19 empty coffins at Tax Payer's expense. These officials have no shame. Konje they're specialists when it comes to misappropriation of state funds.

In South Africa our laaaaand!!!! 🫠

Absolutely tragic

Hhayi ndiqaluyiva le

How is this being reported as a MASS FUNERAL?

Balance me here quickly; 1. What is the relevance of 'patrons' in this staged funeral? 2. If are only 2 get buried today, then why all 21 coffins (19 empty) there? 3. Why didn't simple call it, memorial service?

Would it be possible to make public the cost of this production? EASTERNCAPEGOV

Breaking news after tembisa babies

The fuel of transporting empty coffins 😭😭😭😭

'21 patrons'.🤔

🙄🙄

Sophie_Mokoena So drama yamakase ama kana kana ke ya eng?

Sounds like someone had to get a funeral tender…Amaqabane kaThambo ngeNew Dawn 😞

Why not pics instead? I fail to understand this exercise.. wastage of resources... I thought it was a funeral yazi🤔🤔.. ish

Lol! I bet if we told the rest of the world about things that happen in this country they'd think we joking😩

Empty coffins?

So coffins were hired?

Wow why didn’t they just use those two coffins!!!drama for what!!smh

Sophie_Mokoena I'm a bit confused.

Mli_Gamede theNjabu10

Whoever authorized this is not br!ght

Why empty coffins?

Dlula_B Vele in Mzansi we have young people who are PATRONS to taverns/ pubs/ drinking dens? 💔💔💔

Thank God the tarven owner is not a foreign national coz crime in South Africa has a nationality tag. Dudula idiots could be spiting fire right and direct from the pit of hell.

SA onlyfans,I know our leaders and government doesn't care about Young people rip 💔

Why empty coffins 🤔
