The Throb nightclub disaster occurred on 24 March 2000, when a stampede broke out after the detonation of a teargas canister at the Throb nightclub in Chatsworth, Durban in South Africa.[1][2] There were 600 children from age 11-14 celebrating the end of term. The incident resulted with deaths of 13 children and 100 injured.[3] The youngest to die in the accident was 11 years old.[4][5] CaseVincent Pillay, Selvan Naidoo, and Sivanthan Chetty were accused for the incident and were put behind bars after the trial. According to two of the accused, they admitted their involvement in the Durban High Court. Naidoo confessed that he put the canister behind the speakers after Pillay smuggled it inside the club. He said he was offered R5,000 (about US$1,000 at the time) and a job at Silver Slipper Club by Chetty, the manager there.[6] Chatsworth Youth CenterThe Chatsworth Youth Center was opened in 2003 by Nelson Mandela in the memory of the 13 children who died in the incident.[7] References1. ^{{Cite news|first= Miranda|last=Andrew|url= https://www.iol.co.za/news/south-africa/throb-mastermind-apologises-for-murders-276584|title=Throb mastermind apologises for murders|publisher=Independent Online|date=2006-05-06|access-date=2018-03-28|language=en}} 2. ^{{Cite news|url= https://www.theguardian.com/world/2000/mar/25/2|title=13 children die in disco stampede|location=Durban, South Africa|agency=Associated Press|date=2000-03-25|website=The Guardian| language=en|access-date=2018-03-28}} 3. ^{{Cite news|url= https://www.news24.com/xArchive/Archive/Two-Throb-victims-tell-of-tragedy-20001130|title=Two Throb victims tell of tragedy|work=News24|access-date=2018-03-28|language=en}} 4. ^{{Cite news|url= http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/692068.stm|title=BBC News {{!}} AFRICA {{!}} Murder charges after nightclub deaths|publisher=BBC|access-date=2018-03-28}} 5. ^{{Cite news|url= http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/689732.stm|title=BBC News {{!}} AFRICA {{!}} Children die in South African disco|publisher=BBC|access-date=2018-03-28}} 6. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.news24.com/xArchive/Archive/Two-Throb-accused-confess-20001206|title=Two Throb accused confess|work=News24|access-date=2018-03-28|language=en}} 7. ^{{Cite news|url=https://risingsunchatsworth.co.za/84097/paying-tribute-madiba-victims-throb-tragedy/|title=Paying tribute to Madiba and victims of the Throb tragedy {{!}} Rising Sun Chatsworth|date=2017-03-30|work=Rising Sun Chatsworth|access-date=2018-03-28|language=en-US}} 2 : Durban|Man-made disasters in South Africa |
