King Air accident in Botswana - mid Jan 2009

Anyone out there heard anything about a King Air that caught fire on landing w/c 19 Jan 2009 somewhere in Botswana? I think the callsign ended 'HV'.

Botswana Kingair reg with HV is probably A2-AHV. Possibly the Sua pan one. Don't know anything about an incident.

A2-AHV overshot runway near Botswana/Namibia border. Seems like surrounding bush then set alight by hot exhaust and ensuing bush fire consumed aircraft. No injuries but aircraft compltely destroted.
