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.
