Nine feared dead in SA plane crash

Rescuers have recovered eight bodies after a plane carrying nine people crashed in a nature reserve in South Africa.

National Rescue Service spokesman Craig Lambinon said debris from the plane, which had been missing for 14 hours, was discovered early this morning. He said no survivors had been found.

The single-engine aircraft was a company plane owned by Johannesburg-based Italtile Ltd.

Mr Lambinon said there was heavy fog in the area, but the cause of the crash, 320 miles (515km) east of Cape Town, is still under investigation.

The plane was flying between two small airports in South Africa.
