According to Chris Botha of Netcare 911, exact detail to the cause of the collapse is still speculative and will remain a subject for police comment.

“Netcare 911 and the provincial ambulance services arrived at the scene and found that the stage in the hall collapsed , the people on the stage fell about 4m into a void area under the raised stage,” says Botha.

“After paramedics triaged the injured they found that the people had sustained injuries ranging from serious to minor.

“After the injured were treated at the scene by medics they transported them to various hospitals in the area for the care that they required.”
