Seventy people died last month in South Africa after an abandoned building caught fire.
The five-storey building in Johannesburg had been taken over by homeless and vulnerable people who were forced to pay rent to criminal gangs.

President Cyril Ramaphosa says the criminal groups need to be rooted out.
