1/29: South Africa – 24 March 2021 – 21st Anniversary of the Throb Night Club incident – It was the last day of the first term – March 24 this year. Hundreds of teenagers had gathered excitedly outside Throb nightclub in Chatsworth. During the matinee, sweaty teenagers gyrated on the dance floor while others squeezed to the bar, ordering alcohol and softdrinks. Suddenly the mood changed from one of excitement to one of terror. Instead of music and flashing lights, there was screaming, shouting – and darkness.A teargas canister had been detonated on the dance floor, resulting in chaos as the 1 000-strong crowd tried to squeeze through the only known exit to get to fresh air outside. Bouncer Thanasagren Naidoo said he had first thought that a fight had broken out. He had run inside and had found the balustrade wall had collapsed, trapping children underneath. Others were pushing down the stairs and jumping over the top balustrade onto the broken wall. (Compiled by Rabin Singh)
