The body of the pilot of a helicopter that crashed in Lesotho's Katse Dam on Tuesday morning has been found.
The pilot and a senior official of the Lesotho Highlands Development Agency (LHDA) went down with the aircraft when it hit the water. The official's body is still missing.
Three survivors, all members of a German film crew, were in a stable condition in a Bloemfontein hospital on Tuesday night.
They had managed to swim from the wreckage and were rescued by crew on a boat, said the LHDA's George van der Merwe.
The search is hampered by the depth of the water and cliffs surrounding the dam
The wreckage of the Lesotho Defence Force helicopter is lying under 98m of water, around 50m from the side of the dam near Bokong.
SABC radio news named the survivors as Jan du Toit and Herman Botha, both South Africans, and Dominique van Eisenhart, a German citizen.
