Two weeks ago, a light aircraft crashed in Mbombela, Mpumalanga and the pilot was declared dead by the paramedics shortly after the accident at a private farm near the old Nelspruit airport.
In January, two people were confirmed dead when a light aircraft hit the ground in Nasrec, in the south on Johannesburg near the FNB Stadium. The CAA has said a preliminary report will be issued within 30 days from the day of the Nasrec crash.
