Parents of the victims of the Enyobeni tavern tragedy have asked for support from community members to fight the scourge of underage drinking in the Buffalo City Metro.They said this during an event at the Scenery Park community hall on Monday to mark the first anniversary of the death of the 21 youngsters.
The artworks commemorating the tragedy are only part of the work by Muholi to help the victims. The artist also pledged to build an art centre in the area to discourage children from falling into an alcohol and drug culture.
Almost a year to the date of the Enyobeni Tavern tragedy in which 21 young people died, the Eastern Cape Liquor Board (ECLB) has issued a stern warning to matric pupils planning “pens down” parties as June examinations draw to a close.
