HARARE – A South African is confirmed to have been killed in a light plane crash in Zimbabwe’s Zambezi Valley over the weekend.
Petri Viljoen was a specialist in hunting studies and was one of four people aboard a Cessna plane that crashed on Friday in a wild and rugged part of the valley.
In a post on Facebook, the Southern African Wildlife Management Association said it had heard with great sadness the death of Petri Viljoen.
He had been conducting a census of elephants in the Zambezi Valley.
Viljoen was one of four people aboard a Cessna plane that crashed in the Chewore Safari Area on Friday.
Two other people were seriously injured in the accident and a fourth person is still missing.
Friends have been posting their condolences on Viljoen’s Facebook timeline.
