I would hope, if they investigate, that our government would have to be able to put those things in place before the Soccer Federation will allow it to have the World Cup held here."

I am satisfied that whatever the police were supposed to have done, that they did. But at the end of the day, I don't think that anybody anticipated you'd have the kind of crowd that you had, and if there's one criticism I have, it is that the tickets weren't readily available prior to the match."

STORYLINE:
On Thursday morning South Africa began counting the cost of a soccer stampede the previous night which left 43 people dead, including children, and scores more injured.
The tragedy occurred during a league match between the country's two biggest football teams, the Kaizer Chiefs and the Orlando Pirates.
The rampage started when thousands of fans who couldn't fit into the stadium for the game between the Kaizer Chiefs and the Orlando Pirates shoved and broke through the fence around the facility or climbed over gates.
Nobody initially realised the magnitude of the problem and play carried on until 34 minutes into the match.
The stampede killed 29 people inside the stadium and 14 outside, according to the police.
Two of the dead were children.
Emotional scenes unfolded at Johannesburg's mortuary where families gathered to identify bodies.
In addition to the 43 people killed, 160 people were injured and 89 of them were admitted to a local hospital.
