One of the concerned parents, Ms Anele Dlamini was quoted by this publication saying: “Tavern owners are making money by killing our children. Some of the taverns are operating 24 hours and they have the guts to sell liquor to under aged children and pregnant women.”
Some of the areas that have taverns not far away from schools and churches are Pienaar, Masoyi and Kabokweni.
