Case study: Enyobeni Tavern disaster During a celebration of hlanjwa iphepha (‘pens down’), a tradition in South Africa that celebrates the end-of-school exams, 21 people were killed and four people were injured in the Enyobeni Tavern in East London on 26 June 2022 (Wikipedia, 2022). Initial reports suggested a crowd crush, but this was not confirmed by the investigating authorities. The owner of the bar, Siyakhangela Ndevu, who was not present when the deaths occurred, stated that he had received calls from security at around 01:00, informing him of people attempting to force their way through a gate outside the tavern (Daily Maverick, 2022). Promise Matinise, the entertainment manager of the tavern, admitted they lacked the manpower to deal with overcrowding, explaining that some patrons tried to force their way in. Matinise witnessed people falling down, as bouncers failed to control the large crowd, and stated that he contacted the owner upon discovering that some people were dead (Wikipedia, 2022). A patron stated that, at one stage, a security guard closed the doors and sprayed a chemical into the crowd. The patron added they were unable to breathe, with some suffocating and many kept pushing one another to get out of the tavern, but it was no use people were dying. At 04:00 am, a witness placed a call reporting multiple deaths at the tavern. Seventeen victims – the youngest aged 13 – were found on the dance floor and in chairs, on couches and at tables, with no obvious signs of injury. In the immediate aftermath of the incident, an investigation was opened into the probable causes of the deaths. Samples from the bodies of the victims were taken to toxicology laboratories in Cape Town for analysis. The South African Police Service released a statement regarding the incident, stating that they would be deploying maximum resources” to the investigation, and that the public should not speculate on the causes of the deaths (BBC, 2022). A provincial safety officer said that since there were “no visible wounds”, the cause of death was likely not a stampede. A spokesperson for the Eastern Cape Department of OVM3701 Assignment 3 Semester 1 2025 Total: 100 Community Safety stated that they had ruled out a stampede entirely, and that the most likely cause of death was poison-related, pointing to CCTV footage showing hookah pipes at the tavern. Eastern Cape MEC for Safety, Weziwe Tikana, ruled out a stampede because “there were three young people who were coming to speak to MEC and her colleagues when they got to the scene, and they fainted along the way”. One of them has since died while en-route to hospital. An Eastern Cape police spokesperson said the cause of death was either something ingested or inhaled. On 29 June, news reports said investigators suspected carbon monoxide poisoning from a petrol generator operating in the tavern after a power outage in the area. While autopsies had not yet been completed, the chief medical officer at the local mortuary said the bodies showed signs of “chemical asphyxia”. However, a different official in the Forensic Pathology Services said “it is highly unlikely that the cause of death was through fumes from a generator”. On 19 July, it was reported that methanol was present in the bodies of all 21 deceased. Alcohol poisoning and carbon monoxide were thus ruled out. Dr Litha Matiwane, Eastern Cape Provincial Deputy Director-General of Clinical Services, stated that the authorities were still examining whether the levels detected of this toxic chemical were lethal, or whether an additional factor leading to death, was involved (ETD, 2022).

(25) In the investigation of crime, it is important for the investigator to use all possible lawful resources, methods and techniques to investigate the crime and establish the truth. The court must be provided with all possible relevant information since criminals always try to remain one step ahead of the police in their use of techniques to commit crimes and avoid prosecution. 1.2 Discuss how you would use the cognitive interview technique to establish the facts about what happened, by interviewing surviving victims and eyewitnesses to the above case.
