A deadly fire in Johannesburg's inner city was a "wake-up call" for South Africa, says President Cyril Ramaphosa.

Seventy-four people were killed - including 12 children - after a blaze in a five-storey building occupied by homeless people.

More than 50 others were injured.

Earlier, the city of Johannesburg confirmed it owned the building, but said cartels had taken it over. Officials say the cause of the deadly fire is unclear.
