Just a day after a pilot died when his plane crashed as spectators watched during an airshow in the Western Cape, another plane crashed – this time in Thohoyandou, Limpopo.
On Monday, the South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) revealed that their Accident and Incident Investigations Division (AIID) confirmed they were investigating the Thohoyandou incident in which three people were seriously injured.
“A pilot and two passengers were on board a Jabiru J430 aircraft in a private flight from the Nandoni airfield in Thohoyandou to Louis Trichardts airfield when the accident occurred approximately 23km east of the Nandoni airfield,” the SACAA said in a statement.
“All three occupants sustained serious injuries and the AIID has dispatched an investigator to the site and the scene has been secured.
