It seems probable that they died because the liquor they were served was laced with methanol.

The saga of the Eastern Cape tavern deaths would be comical if it weren’t so tragic. Some time in the early hours of the morning a bunch of seriously underage kids imbibed something so toxic that 21 of them died. Here are some questions the authorities are about as likely to answer as President Cyril Ramaphosa is to explain whose dollars were really being stored at Phala Phala.
There has been a report suggesting that the victims died from inhaling a toxic gas; this is about as credible as the fiction of Ramaphosa’s Phala Phala Ankole livestock sales. Why did the bouncers not die? How is it that the barmen and serving staff are still alive? Police minister Bheki Cele is quoted as saying:If that’s factually correct they weren’t inhaling toxic fumes for a couple of hours. that they died because the liquor they were served was laced with methanol.
