According to his mother, Bambolwethu had been drinking with friends on Friday after school.
"On Sunday he couldn't get up, he kept falling over his feet. He vomited a black substance along with blood," says Nokuzola Mbangatha.
The teenager was rushed to the nearby Site B Hospital and from there transferred to Groote Schuur.
"On Tuesday night he died, doctors told me that he had an infrequent heart beat," said Mbangatha in the family's small shack as neighbours stood close by to support her.
"What he was drinking could not have been alcohol, it was poison. He was just experimenting with his friends, some of whom have also been admitted to hospital," said Mbangatha.
Some of Bambolwethu's friends have subsequently been discharged from hospital.
"They told me that they had bought it for R2 a pint using their lunch money," said Mbangatha.
Yesterday a prayer service was held at the home of security guard Thobani Jonas, 38, who died on Sunday.
