South Africa police are investigating the deaths of 22 young people at a nightclub in the southern coastal town of East London.
The tragedy, which happened as students celebrated the end of the school year, has not yet been determined by police forensic teams.
"At first, we were told that this was a stampede, but by the looks of things, there was no stampede that took place,"

The tavern was a popular hangout with teenagers, which sold alcohol to underage children.
In South Africa, there are many such venues that frequently break licensing requirements, overworked law enforcement frequently ignore such criminal activity.
