It’s business as usual at a tavern in Bergville, Rookdale, after a grenade explosion which saw at least 10 people injured last night (Saturday).
The incident took place after an argument between two people over a beer in the tavern.
“The man who threw the grenade into the tavern had argued with another person after demanding that he buy him something to drink (alcohol). After he refused to buy him a drink, the man went home and fetched a grenade. After throwing it (the grenade) into the tavern, he closed the door and the grenade exploded inside,” said a bystander who asked not to be named.
Tavern owner Lindi Madonsela explained how the grenade rolled under a pool table in the tavern before exploding underneath, which saved many people’s lives.
