Early in the morning of June 26, 20 young students died in a nightclub in the coastal town of East London, South Africa.
Siyakhangela Ndevu, the owner of the nightclub, said “I am still uncertain about what really happened, but when I was called in the morning I was told the place was too full and that some people were trying to force their way into the tavern.”
Police Minister Bheki Cele and his team are currently conducting an investigation into how 20 people died that night. They found that the bodies had no injuries and were scattered on tables and floors.
Siyanda Manana, a health department spokesperson, said, “At this point, we cannot confirm the cause of death.” He continued, “We are going to conduct autopsies as soon as possible to establish the probable cause of death. The deceased have been taken to state mortuaries.”
