Mazabuka Plane Crash Leaves Atleast 7 Dead
A SEVEN-SEATER fixed-wing South African-registered plane yesterday crashed in Mazabuka, killing all people on board.
Southern Province commissioner of police Mary Chikwanda said in an interview yesterday that the plane crashed around 13:00 hours at Ekushiya Farm belonging to commercial farmer Guy Robinson.
“We have only discovered one body at the scene of the accident. The body had no legs or hands and it was badly burnt.
“The plane has a South African flag but the registration number is not clear because I could only see the letters SH,” Ms Chikwanda said.
She said the plane was destined for Livingstone from Ndola en route to South Africa.
She said police suspect that the pilot was conducting an aerial mapping of the area before the plane crashed.
Ms Chikwanda said police are yet to establish the number of people on board the aircraft and their nationalities but she believes that they were all South Africans.
“We will have full details of the plane crash soon. Zambia Air Force officers went to the scene of the accident to carry out investigations and hopefully we will have all the nec-essary information,” Ms Chikwanda said.
Deputy Minister of Transport, Works, Supply and Communications Panji Kaunda expressed shock at the crash.
Col Kaunda rushed to the crash site in the company of senior government officials.
And Mr Robinson said he saw the plane crashing on his farm.

Edgaar Chagwa Lungu at work. Instead of dying peacefully, our president was told to sacrifice his own people.
HIV AIDS will kill Edgar Lungu before the end of next year wether he like it or not.
All bloggers supporting Edgar Lungu have also been intiated into satanism. Evidence, nearly all of you have night mares.

When Edgar went to South Africa when he was sick, he consulted Sangoma who told him that he would die before the end of this year 2015 unless he sacrifices 580 people within the month of April. 580 in satanic ways represent the number of years that Lungu has. Edgar Muhammad Lungu is aged 58, meaning a zero was added to assign him to kill 580. As as of today 10th May 2015, about 345 people have lost their lives in road accidents, and lungu is remaining with 235 more people to kill/sacrifice. That is Edgar Lungu for you.

learn to report factually.Nowhere did the police say there were seven people of board serve for saying it was a seven-seater plane.The police also confirmed that only one burnt body was found so where does the figure seven dead come from. A seven seater plane does not always carry seven passangers.

This is all what HH went for in Brazil to get more satanic powers and start causing a lot of aacidents in southern province. This Blood sucking satanist thinks he can win elections in 2016 if he sacrifices a lot. Bishop Chomba, where are you? Zambia plunged by satanists led by HH, if this people where to govern Zambia, Zambia will turn into a satanic nation instead of christian.

I think this trend of “blame it on this person” thing is happening on both PF and UPND sides, even among us the opposition little things are blamed on EL just like PF people like saying HH this and that. This dilutes the strength of a discussion or debate as people concentrate on petty exchanges even when they know that their insinuation is blatantly stupid.

Very disgusting behaviour by the pf of spreading malicious stupidity over the death of innocent people. I have now come to accept that indeed the pf promotes tribalism and hate. Surely how can people comment like this on innocent lives of fellow zambians. Whether tonga, lozi, bemba bane we are one. Let the PF not just sing about one unity , we need to see it in practice. Surely when I say this party has failed can you blame me? What can we learn from such fools?

One funny thing I fail to understand is that I thought our aviation authority is supposed to have details of planes that are in our airspace. Does it mean this plane never used any airstrip or airport in zambia for us not to have the details of how may people were in the plane and all other details of the plane?
