Six people, including a pilot, were killed in a plane crash near Livingstone airport on Thursday afternoon, the director of Civil Aviation in Zambia told Sapa on Thursday.
"The wreckage was located. All people on board have perished... There were five passengers and one pilot," the director, Chilu Kabalika, told Sapa.
"I have been advised that the people are not South Africans. We could not establish the passengers' names yet, but I was told they came from Malawi and have British names, although I am not sure of their nationality."
Earlier, Kabalika said: "Our air traffic control received information that a chartered plane was experiencing engine problems." - Sapa
