South Africa is mourning the deaths of at least 74 people killed in a building fire in central Johannesburg on Thursday.
Witnesses say as many as 200 people could have been living in the building illegally.
Investigators are looking for the cause.
President Cyril Ramaphosa says the accident is a wake up call to address the housing crisis in South Africa's inner cities.
