On Monday night, eight people – including children - were killed in a crush at the Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon as fans massed around the Olembe Stadium in Yaounde – eager to see their team reach the quarter finals.

Speaking at a press conference the following day, the president of the Confederation of African Football - or CAF - Patrice Motsepe, pledged that such an event must never be allowed to happen again. He demanded the organising committee report back to him, today (Friday), with answers about how such an event had happened.

For Africa Daily Alan Kasujja hears more about what happened that fateful night – and asks how stadium safety can be improved across the continent.
