Underage drinking: the allure of 'lit vibes' and little control?

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: The tragic deaths of 21 teenagers at Enyobeni Tavern in the Eastern Cape in the early hours of 26 June again highlighted the scourge of underage drinking in South Africa. In the aftermath, parents, law enforcement structures and owners of liquor outlets are typically blamed. But what is the extent of underage drinking in the country, what are the real drivers and what should be done? Antoinette Oosthuizen looked at some findings from HSRC research and spoke to researcher Candice Groenewald.
