Yellow police tape now cordons off the drinking place in the South African city of East London where 21 teenagers died in unexplained circumstances.

A forensic team has been going through the site at the Enyobeni Tavern to try to understand what exactly took place.

There were no visible injuries on the bodies of the deceased, the authorities have said, so a crush seems an unlikely explanation.

Some have said the victims were poisoned, but this is not confirmed.

South Africa's liquor board has said the owners of the tavern would face criminal charges after allegedly breaching licensing agreements.

Some family members of the victims have been gathering at the tavern to try and find out the latest news.

Among them was Xolile Malangeni.

His 17-year-old daughter, Sinako, snuck out of her home on Saturday night but never returned.

"[She] always loved and took care of me when I was ill," her father told the BBC with tears in his eyes.

Alongside her there are 20 other victims in a nearby mortuary. Post-mortem examinations have now been completed but one person remains unidentified and the provincial authorities have called on possible family members to come forward.

The youngest of those who died was 13 and the oldest was 17, according to Police Minister Bheki Cele - but a detailed list of the victims has not yet been produced.

The minimum drinking age in South Africa is 18, so they should not have been allowed in.

"The venue was packed. Entrance was free... and free alcohol was also being dished out. We started drinking and having fun with others," a 16-year-old girl who did not want to be named told the BBC.

"Those that were outside were trying to force their way in. Only two bouncers were at the scene to control the crowd. That's when people started collapsing, they were dropping like flies.

"I thought they were just passing out because they had too much to drink. Many others including myself escaped through the windows. My friends are dead now and we've all been left traumatised."

"They die[d] as they danced. They dance, fall, and die - literally. Others would just feel dizzy, sleep on the sofa, [and] die," South African website News24 quotes Mr Cele as saying on Monday.

The tavern, a two-storey building, sits amid residential properties in a densely populated area of East London's Scenery Park township.

It has been the focus of a lot of community anger, residents said. They had previously complained to the police about the noise and the late opening hours.

It is not clear why there were so many young people there on Saturday night. The owner has been quoted in local media as saying they had come to celebrate the end of school exams, having gone there after a "pens down" party ended elsewhere.

A birthday party was also being held at the tavern.

Two of the victims died either on the way to hospital or in hospital, but the other 19 died inside the venue itself.

They were found slumped over tables or on the floor.

On Monday afternoon, community members gathered in a church hall near the tavern for a subdued prayer service. Between hymns people spoke about the tragedy of parents burying children.

The tavern's entertainment manager, Promise Matinise, told the BBC that he saw people collapsing one after the other in the early hours of Sunday morning. At first he assumed they had passed out from drinking too much and then realised that some had stopped breathing.

Earlier, he said, bouncers had struggled to control the large crowds that had entered the establishment.

Speaking on Sunday, Oscar Mabuyane, premier of Eastern Cape province where the tragedy happened, did not give possible reasons for the deaths, but condemned the "unlimited consumption of liquor".

Visiting the scene, he said: "You can't just trade in the middle of society like this and think that young people are not going to experiment."

News24.com | LIVE | Covid-19 job crisis looms large, Nehawu plans protest action for safety of healthcare workers

Kenya extends coronavirus curfew, restricts alcohol sales

Kenya’s President Uhuru Kenyatta has extended a nightly curfew and banned alcohol sales in restaurants as part of a bid to halt a steep rise in coronavirus cases.

In a stern televised address to the nation on Monday, Kenyatta said a countrywide curfew from 21:00 to 04:00 will remain in place for another 30 days and that “there shall be no sale of alcoholic beverages or drinks in eateries and restaurants” over the same period.

Restaurants are to close by 19:00 the president said, while bars are to remain shut.

The new restrictions came a day after health authorities in Kenya reported the highest single-day jump in infections, logging 960 new confirmed cases on Sunday. The total number of infections in the country has tripled in the past month, rising to 17 975, while the death toll from Covid-19 stands at 285.

In his speech, Kenyatta blamed the rise in cases on “reckless” behaviour and said there was notably an “aggressive surge” among young people who were socialising, “particularly in environments serving alcohol”, and were, in turn, infecting their elders.

“The harsh reality my friends, is that we are at war. At war with an invisible enemy who is relentless,” Kenyatta said.

Health News24.com | FULL SPEECH | We have proven our resilience as a nation, says Ramaphosa as SA moves to Level 2

Health

My fellow South Africans,

It has been 5 months since we declared a national screech of peril to fight to the coronavirus pandemic.

As I said then, and as I repeat now, by no system earlier than in the history of our democracy has our country been confronted with this form of excessive threat – a field that has demanded an exceptional response and much sacrifice.

It has been an immensely stressful 5 months, and the pandemic has taken a heavy toll – on the successfully being of our other folks, on households and communities, on the public successfully being machine, on the financial system and on other folks’s everyday lives.

All the plan by this stressful interval what all of us comprise longed for as South Africans most of all is to be healthy, restore our livelihoods and rebuild our financial system. 

I take care of you this evening amid signs of hope. 

We now comprise made development in our fight towards COVID-19.

Over the closing three weeks, the amount of present confirmed instances has dropped from a top of over 12,000 a day to a median over the final week of around 5,000 a day.

The restoration rate from coronavirus has risen from 48% at the time of my closing take care of and now stands at 80%.

The cumulative quantity of instances in our country remains extremely high at 583,653.

However, the amount of energetic instances is declining every day, and now stands at around 105,000.

The virus looks to comprise peaked in quite a bit of provinces, at the side of the Western Cape, Jap Cape, Gauteng and perhaps in KwaZulu-Natal.

Fewer other folks are presenting with signs at our successfully being facilities. 

We’re also finding that fewer other folks are requiring admission in our hospitals and the question for coronavirus assessments has dropped.

The amount of patients hospitalised has reduced from 10,000 in the originate of the month to around 4,000.

Here’s vastly lowering the stress on our successfully being facilities.

As of at the present time, 11,667 other folks are confirmed to comprise died from COVID-19 in South Africa.  We mourn every person who has handed away and the numerous more that we also can unbiased no longer yet find out about.

The deaths of so many folk in this form of transient dwelling of time attributable to a scourge a lot like this is a human tragedy of proportions that we must gentle no longer comprise expected to befall our nation at a time of peace and democracy.

It is now particular that had we no longer acted as impulsively and decisively as we did – and had we no longer taken the threat as significantly as we did – a long way more lives would had been misplaced.

It remains our most important shy away in the weeks and months that lie forward to proceed to assign lives.

After I announced the nation-huge lockdown on the 23th of March it modified into once to discontinuance a unexpected and uncontrolled surge of infections and to prepare our successfully being machine adequately.

As we inquire lend a hand at the past 5 months, all indications are that South Africa has reached the pause and moved beyond the inflection point of the curve.  

Most of our successfully being facilities comprise proven resilient, succesful and in a predicament to withstand and take care of the surge.

The modelled projections of infections, hospitalisation and deaths comprise needed to be adjusted downwards as we’ve recorded higher development in the administration of the disease.

The development we’re recording in our administration of COVID 19 would no longer be that it is doubtless you’ll per chance well well also factor in with out the dedication and professionalism of our doctors, nurses and numerous successfully being personnel, who comprise had to confront this unheard of disease on the total under extremely stressful prerequisites.

We pay tribute to them, moderately just a few whom had been contaminated and a few who comprise misplaced their lives caring for others.

None of this might per chance had been that it is doubtless you’ll per chance well well also factor in with out your total numerous frontline crew, police females and males, squaddies, traffic officials and volunteers who had been at the forefront of our national response.

We also pay tribute to our medical examiners in numerous successfully being establishments, such because the National Health Laboratory Carrier, National Institute for Communicable Ailments, Scientific Analysis Council and the Ministerial Advisory Committee who proceed to play an precious role in our administration of COVID-19.

In a roundabout plan, the event we’ve made must gentle no longer had been that it is doubtless you’ll per chance well well also factor in with out the sacrifices made by you, the folk of South Africa. 

It is you who comprise readily adapted to the constraints around veil wearing, social distancing and upright hygiene and in the approach helped to assign lives. 

But while there are certainly signs of hope, we can’t and must no longer let our guard down.

As we proceed to ease restrictions, the trouble of an infection does no longer diminish.

In the end, the trouble of an infection turns into higher as more other folks return to work, as they switch about more and as there are more alternatives to work collectively.

We therefore can’t change into complacent or abandon the successfully being precautions that we all know we deserve to take.

Even the slightest lapse in our alertness at this moment also can result in a resurgence in infections at a rate and on a scale a long way higher than what we’ve considered to this point.

We now comprise considered this happen in numerous countries, the put stringent restrictions comprise needed to be reimposed at brief scrutinize because the rate of an infection rises after relaxation.

We now comprise concluded that the lower rate of infections we’re experiencing must gentle result in the comfort of the constraints we’ve had to this point. 

However, now might perhaps well per chance be the time for even higher vigilance and even higher care.

We must always always all proceed to place on a cloth veil that covers our nostril and mouth every time we leave dwelling.

We must always always defend the elderly and those with underlying prerequisites from publicity to the virus.

We must always always proceed to use social distancing and be obvious upright air wander along with the poke indoors.

We must always always proceed to restrict our wander back and forth to most effective that which is basically significant, to manual particular of social gatherings and to take into accout to on a frequent basis wash or sanitise our palms.

We now know that a monumental share of different folks that are contaminated with the virus attain no longer show signs and must gentle no longer even know that they are contaminated.

I will doubtless be contaminated. As also can you.

With this in mind, every for sure one of us must gentle remember ourselves as doubtlessly contaminated with the virus and proceed to behave responsibly so that we attain no longer cross it on to others. 

I do know that the closing 5 months had been terribly stressful for our nation and for every for sure one of us.

For all individuals, this disease has supposed the disruption of every day lifestyles. 

But for thousands and thousands of different folks, it has also supposed hardship and hunger.

It has precipitated trouble, apprehension and despair that no particular person must gentle comprise to endure.

It has required a careful steadiness between saving lives and maintaining livelihoods, between a devastating epidemic and a deep recession.

It has required stressful choices with a long way-reaching consequences.

While the measures we’ve taken comprise resulted in monumental hardship, we all know that the artificial – of an uncontrolled surge of infections and a successfully being machine unable to cope – would had been a long way more devastating.

Now, amid the signs of hope, we’re ready to enter a brand unique section in our response to the pandemic.

Attributable to the actions that we’ve taken, collectively and personally, over the old couple of months, we’ve reduced the rate of transmission. 

We now comprise relieved a lot of the stress on our successfully being machine.

Guided by the advice of our successfully being consultants and after session with provincial and local government, Cupboard has determined to web online page your total country on alert level 2, with enact from middle of the night time on Monday, the 17th of August 2020.

Alert Stage 2 when it involves our trouble adjusted approach in facing the pandemic system that there is a moderate Covid-19 spread of the virus with a rather high successfully being machine readiness.

The switch to level 2 system that we can capture the majority of the constraints on the resumption of financial activity across most industries.

Financial activity will doubtless be allowed with the significant and applicable stringent successfully being protocols and security precautions in web online page.

Attributable to this reality, the next changes will take enact under level 2:

All restrictions on inter-provincial wander back and forth will doubtless be lifted.

Accommodation, hospitality venues and excursions will doubtless be current essentially based on current protocols to be obvious social distancing.

Drinking locations, bars and taverns will doubtless be current to operate essentially based on current protocols as to instances of operation and numbers of different folks.

Restrictions on the sale of tobacco will doubtless be lifted.

The suspension of the sale of alcohol will doubtless be lifted field to obvious restrictions. 

Alcohol will doubtless be current for on-attach consumption in licensed establishments most effective up till 10pm. 

Liquor retail outlets will doubtless be allowed to promote alcohol for off-attach consumption from Monday to Thursday for the interval of the hours of 9am to 5pm most effective.

Restrictions on family and social visits might perhaps also be lifted, though all individuals is informed to exercise impolite warning and undertake such visits most effective if significant. 

Infections had been known to take web online page for the interval of family visits, endangering family members and typically leading to the deaths of some family members.

Social distancing must gentle be observed, masks must gentle be proceed to be dilapidated and particular care must gentle be taken to provide protection to the elderly and other folks with underlying prerequisites.

Familiarity with every numerous must gentle no longer enable us to neglect these precautions.

As we ease restrictions, it is miles important that some measures dwell in web online page to restrict transmission and defend our successfully being skill.

Attributable to this reality, 

Contemporary restrictions on international wander back and forth will dwell in web online page.

No gatherings of more than 50 other folks will doubtless be current. Among others, this contains funerals and spiritual events.

Spectators also can no longer be current at sporting events.

The curfew will dwell in web online page between the hours of 10pm and 4am.

We proceed to help other folks to defend at dwelling in the event that they are able to and, if that it is doubtless you’ll per chance well well also factor in, to develop a living from dwelling, in particular in the event that they are over the age of 60 or comprise underlying prerequisites.

In uncover to withhold the closing restrictions in web online page and to withhold just a few of the significant parts of our successfully being response, it is miles important that we lengthen the national screech of peril all over one more time till 15 September 2020.

With this unique section of our response, we deserve to place in web online page the practices and kinds of behaviour that we must proceed to adopt for some time to shut lend a hand.

This virus will dwell with us for numerous months and I must applaud the numerous South Africans who comprise modified their system of lifestyles to meet that reality.

I must also fabricate point out, in particular, of the contribution of outmoded leaders and spiritual leaders of all faiths who comprise offered steerage on how religious and cultural observances might perhaps also be adjusted for the interval of the time of coronavirus.

Alongside general precautions that every for sure one of us can take, we’re bettering public successfully being skill so that we can higher name, isolate, take a look at and treat every optimistic case and tag and quarantine every contact.

In the coming days, we can train a extremely effective unique plot to bolster our digital contact tracing efforts.

To boot to manual contact tracing and the national WhatsApp channel, a mobile software program will doubtless be used to bid contacts more rapidly while maintaining their privacy and anonymity.

The Minister of Health, acting on behalf of our government, requested the Director-Fashionable of the World Health Organisation, Dr Tedros Ghebreyesus, to send consultants to South Africa to bolster our efforts towards the coronavirus. 

We deeply welcome the strengthen from the WHO, which has brought 43 consultants to South Africa to lend a hand our inspiring working successfully being consultants to lend a hand us fight this epidemic.

They’re already providing lend a hand in regards to epidemiological diagnosis, an infection withhold watch over, incident administration and crew engagement. 

We must always always proceed to minimise the trouble of outbreaks in high-vulnerability settings, in particular in properties for older other folks, psychological successfully being facilities and numerous establishments.

We also can enhance our efforts to enforce successfully being and safety features in the web online page of enterprise, in retail stores and public transport, to provide protection to crew and commuters and develop a safe ambiance for companies to operate.

Following the measures we’ve assign in web online page as section of the R500 billion social and financial reduction bundle, we proceed to procure with our social partners in enterprise and labour on how one can maintain and enhance the strengthen being offered to firms, staff and households.

The additional easing of restrictions affords us with the finest substitute for the explanation that originate up of the pandemic to breathe lifestyles into our struggling financial system.

At the same time as we open up financial activity, this also can unbiased take a in point of fact long time for industries and companies to recuperate, and there is a lot work gentle to be finished.

On Thursday, I convened your total social partners in NEDLAC, namely government, labour, enterprise and crew.

We’re essentially working collectively on an pressing financial restoration programme that locations the protection and introduction of employment at its centre.

We would be making announcements on the pause result of this work in the following few weeks.

We can use this moment no longer most effective to shut South Africa to the put it modified into once earlier than, but to transform our country to a more equal, more unbiased and more dynamic financial system.

Fellow Electorate,

Complex days certainly lie forward. 

However, we’ve proven our resilience as a nation over the final 5 months. 

The duty earlier than us now might perhaps well per chance be to use the identical energies with which we’ve battled this pandemic to the financial restoration effort.

We now comprise weathered a protracted and stressful storm.

We now comprise persisted monumental hardship and suffered insufferable losses.

But we’ve stood firm by distinction onslaught.

We now comprise taken action to provide protection to ourselves, our communities and our country.

A ray of gentle is visible on the horizon.

Let us proceed to exercise the finest warning and care, and dwell ever-vigilant. Let us proceed to stand united in our resolution to defeat this virus.

Let us press forward – one nation, resolute, hopeful and bold. 

Morena boloka setjhaba sa heso, Setjhaba sa South Afrika.

Can also unbiased God Bless South Africa and defend her other folks.
