At least 22 people are reported to have been found dead at a nightclub in South Africa.

Emergency services were called in the early hours of Sunday to the Enyobeni Tavern in Scenery Park, on the edge of East London, Eastern Cape province, according to the Daily Dispatch news site.

Eastern Cape police spokesperson Brigadier Tembinkosi Kinana told the Newzroom Africa rolling news channel in the country that young people were among the dead.

Reuters reported him saying they were aged between 18 and 20, but there are also reports they may have been younger, with AP saying they were reportedly attending a party to celebrate the end of winter school exams.

Siyanda Manana, a spokesperson for the Eastern Cape provincial health department, told Reuters: "We are going to immediately be embarking on autopsies so we can know the probable cause of death. We are talking 22 bodies right now."

Gotta be a bad batch of drugs they all took.

[Thommas]

Wood alcohol? Poorly distilled spirits can be fatal..

Mass murder by poison?

Winter in southern hemisphere, crowded closed space, probable carbon monoxide poisoning.

Can’t be. Mass murder only happens in America. The Democrats said so.

You may have nailed it. Coal fired heat?

I’m blaming monkeypox. Monkeypox it is.

I think Cape Town has one of those perfect all year round weather patterns — kind of like the utopia that the climate freaks insist should be across the world.

These nuts really expect mid 70’s with a light breeze at the top of mount washington in January!

Just speculation here but it might be ecstacy with a large fentanyl component.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

That sounds most likely to me.

[drSteve78]

No one would have noticed, until heat is off and CO is dissipated, when anyone showed up the next day.

[drSteve78]

Would likely had crowd vomiting, but all will be revealed. Or not.

[Duckdog]

Did they know the Clinton’s?
