Caf president Dr Patrice Motsepe has visited the homes of the families of the stampede victims at the Olembe Stadium before the Afcon match between Cameroon and Comoros on 24 January.

Motsepe visited several homes in Olembe, Nkolbisson, Simbock and Biyem-Assi where he met with the bereaved families, accompanied by Cameroon Minister of Sports and president of Cocan, professor Narcisse Mouelle Kombi, Caf vice-presidents Ahmed Yahya, Seidou Mbombo Njoya, Kanizat Ibrahim, as well as secretary general Véron Mosengo-Omba.

“We cannot feel the same pain as you but we have come to offer you the condolences and solidarity of the entire African football family and Caf,” Motsepe told the Caf official website.

“In our Bantu tradition, which is part of the tradition of many African countries, we are going with the government to see how we can stand by you in this difficult ordeal because you must not be alone.”
