Here's the gen
Three people were injured when their helicopter crashed in Machadodorp in Mpumalanga, the Civil Aviation Authority said on Thursday.
Spokesperson Gilbert Thwala said the helicopter apparently hit telephone wires before it crashed on Thursday afternoon.
"The three occupants sustained minor injuries and the helicopter was damaged. Our investigators will be on the scene tomorrow to assess the situation."
Thwala said the R22 helicopter had took off from a local mine and its destination was not known. - Sapa
