The release of the final toxicology results into the death of 21 youngsters at Enyobeni Tavern in Scenery Park got off to a trembling start on Thursday morning with families disagreeing with authorities.
The Dispatch understands the disagreement was over the “credibility of the results”.
One of the family members told the Dispatch: “I got angry shortly after they started to address us. They are addressing us individually but I am not happy with their conduct.”
“We told them we want the results to be documented. They are refusing to give us something written down,” said a family member.
Provincial health spokesperson Siyanda Manana told the media the process of releasing results to families was underway.
Manana refused to answer further questions from media saying he will only brief the media after the process had been concluded.
This is a developing story.
