The Oppenheimer Stadium disaster, or Orkney Disaster, was a crowd crush that occurred on 13 January 1991, claiming the lives of 42 people, at the Oppenheimer Stadium in the city of Orkney (200 kilometres (120 mi) from Johannesburg) in South Africa's North West province. It was the second-worst sporting incident in South African history.
The intensity of the crush broke the barriers on the terraces, while those trapped were packed so tightly in the pens that many victims died of compressive asphyxia while still standing. The 1990 official inquiry concluded that the primary cause was the failure of police control, as too many people were let into the stadium.
