SA probes plane crash

South African investigators have launched a probe into the plane crash that killed Mozambique’s former President, Samora Machel, 26 years ago. Paul Ramaloko, spokesman for South Africa’s specialised investigative unit, said this week that the Hawks were investigating circumstances surrounding the crash.

Machel’s Russian Tupolev plane crashed into the Lebombo mountains on the night of October 19, 1986. His widow Graca, now married to former SA leader, Nelson Mandela, has called for a proper investigation.
