This examination of the tragedy discloses that situations outside the control of the supporters were predominantly to blame for converting Ellis Park into a landscape of death and devastation. These included vital faults, contempt for spectator safety, ineffectiveness and negligence of duty on the part of security staffs. Under South African football Association (SAFA) procedures for high risk contests, accountability for spectator safety is the home side’s responsibility; Kaizer Chiefs, Premier Soccer League (PSL) and a lesser extent, Ellis Park stadium management. A critical investigation of the governmental commission of examination into the disaster notes the restrictions of the analytical process and questions the official clarification of the occasion. While South Africa’s main powerbrokers emerged unscathed. [ CITATION kok17 \l 1033
