Probe underway as 22 people die in South African pub, cause unclear

 

A senior safety official said that at least 22 people died at a makeshift nightclub in a township in South Africa's southern city of East London on Sunday (June 26). An official informed that the victims were aged between 18 and 20 years. Bodies were found at the Enyobeni Tavern but the cause of death is still unclear. Media reports mentioned that several people were injured.

 

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

 

A local newspaper website, DispatchLive, reported that "bodies are lying strewn across tables, chairs and on the floor; with no obvious signs of injury".

 

Several unverified photos of the incidents were circulated on social media forums. They also showed bodies with no visible signs of wounds.

 

The provincial community and safety department official Unathi Binqose ruled out a stampede as the cause of death.

 

Binqose told AFP by telephone that "it's difficult to believe it's a stampede as there are no visible open wounds to those dead".

 

A police spokesman told the Newzroom Africa television channel that the "circumstances surrounding the incident are under investigation". "We do not want to make any speculations at this stage," Brigadier Tembinkosi Kinana said.

CAPSTONE Launch to the Moon (Official NASA Broadcast)

 

Watch the launch from New Zealand of CAPSTONE, a new pathfinder CubeSat that will explore a unique orbit around the Moon!

 

The Cislunar Autonomous Positioning System Technology Operations and Navigation Experiment, or CAPSTONE, will be the first spacecraft to fly a near rectilinear halo orbit (NRHO) around the Moon, where the pull of gravity from Earth and the Moon interact to allow for a nearly-stable orbit. CAPSTONE's test of this orbit will lead the way for our future Artemis lunar outpost called Gateway.

 

CAPSTONE is targeted to launch at 5:55 a.m. EDT (9:55 UTC) Tuesday, June 28 on Rocket Labโ€™s Electron rocket from the companyโ€™s Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand.
