Eastern Cape health department has decided to remain mum to the public regarding the toxicology results of the Enyobeni Tavern tragedy in anticipation of “legal processes that might follow.”
Families of the 21 youngsters who died at the Scenery Park tavern on June 26 were called to gather at health department's district offices in West Bank, East London, in order to get the final toxicology results.
Provincial health spokesperson Siyanda Manana would neither confirm nor deny the claims by parents when he addressed the media on Thursday afternoon. Khululekile Ncandana, whose son Bhongolwethu was one of those who died, said: “Parents are being briefed one by one by the authorities.”
