Thirty people have been injured at a local tavern in Umlazi this evening after the sundeck collapsed causing people to fall into the hole that was left.
Emergency personnel from services arrived on the scene to find hundreds of people near the incident, making it very difficult for emergency services to work. An area was made so that paramedics could ascertain who was serious and who was not.
Fifteen people were treated for serious injuries. These injuries ranged from possible fractures, serious lacerations and neck injuries. Another fifteen people were treated for very minor injuries. All the patients were stabilised on the scene and transported to various Hospitals in the greater Durban area for further medical care. No fatalities were reported on the scene.

It is believed that the deck collapsed due to the amount of people that was on it at the time.
The necessary authorities were on the scene and would investigate the incident further.
