Mourners attend a memorial service in East London, South Africa to bid farewell to 21 people, mostly teens, who died at a township tavern last month, in an incident that shocked the nation. Empty coffins were laid out for the ceremony, with families expected to bury their children later this week. The youngsters died in what survivors have described as a battle to escape the jam-packed venue, with one reporting a suffocating smell. IMAGES
Police continue to comb a township tavern for evidence after the mysterious death of 21 teenagers after a night out. Most of the victims, some as young as 13 years old, were found dead inside a popular bar in the southern city of East London. Some died later in hospital. With the victims bearing no visible signs of injury, and those admitted to hospital complaining of symptoms such as chest pains and backache there remains much speculation among local officials and politicians as to what caused the deaths.

The death toll from floods that have battered South Africa climbed above 440 on Sunday (April 17) as abating rains allowed rescue operations to accelerate after one of the deadliest storms in living memory.
Mourners arrive at the funeral of South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who died on Boxing Day at the age of 90. South Africa's President Matamela Cyril Ramaphosa, the country's former president Thabo Mvuyelwa Mbeki and Tutu's widow, Leah, are among the attendees at his funeral. IMAGES
We have lost a person who carried the burden of leadership with compassion, with dignity, with humility and with such good humour," says South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, after anti-apartheid icon Desmond Tutu died aged 90. TO COMPLETE VIDI9V98ZU_ENN°9V9942
