Plane crashed in Zimbabwe, kills six

A small plane carrying six people has crashed near the border between Zimbabwe and Mozambique, on Monday, killing all on board.

According to a report by the Portuguese news agency Lusa, the crash occurred in the Machipanda mountain range. But a contradicting report by a state-controlled newspaper in Zimbabwe, the Herald, said the plane crashed in the mountainous Vumba area, a picturesque tourist area in eastern Zimbabwe, near the border with Mozambique.

The victims included two crew members and four passengers, Lusa said.

The eight sitter Mozambican plane was flying between the Mozambican port city of Beira and the Zimbabwean capital, Harare, said AIM, the Mozambican news agency.

The newspaper also cited that four of the victims are directors of a local transport company who were coming from a business meeting in Mozambique's port city of Beira.
