Crash: No South African Citizens Aboard

Plane crashes near Vic Falls

CAA investigating Zambian crash

Johannesburg - The Civil Aviation Authority of Zambia has confirmed that no South Africans were on board the plane that crashed near Livingstone on Thursday.

Six people on board the aircraft were killed.

"None of the people killed were South Africans. The pilot was Canadian, while there were three Australians and two British nationals.

"There were two couples and a woman believed to be the mother of one of the women," said CAA director Chitalu Kabalika on Friday afternoon.

Kabalika said the five were apparently guests of the Jehovah's Witness Church in Lusaka.

"It appeared they took a holiday while in Zambia and were on their way back to the church after visiting the Victoria Falls."

Air traffic controllers said the chartered plane reported it was experiencing engine problems shortly before it crashed.

CAA spokesperson Moses Seate said earlier on Friday two inspectors from the CAA in Pretoria were invited to participate in the investigation into the South African-registered aircraft's crash.
