One woman died and at least 20 other people were seriously injured in a stampede today when around 5,000 prospective students rushed to register at a university in South Africa.
Officials at the University of Johannesburg said two of the victims were fighting for their lives in hospital after being caught up in the crush at around 8am.
The institution's vice-chancellor, Ihron Rensburg, said the tragedy happened as hopeful students and their parents pushed to get through the university's main gates for the chance to secure late registration for the new academic year, which starts later this month.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
