Aircraft was flying with full tanks,pax and baggage to Namibia, possibly one of the problems in streching the range and load.
Lost power in the one engine, maybe due to faulty exhaust manifold, and stalled just outside the airport boundary, coming down just the other side of the N17 Highway.
This was a regular Monday morning charter for the company taking 10 employees(out of a total of 19!) of a small, go ahead computer company for the weeks work in Namibia. Very Tragic.
