The report that you linked to makes no mention of it being a jet.

Describes it as as "single engine citation aircraft" (!), but quotes a registration that belongs to a Beech A24 Musketeer.

Tough place to go missing.

I hope Mt Cameroon didn't get in the way

IndigoSat South Africa has a great range at IndigoSat South Africa

At $1/hour to operate, it's a complete no-brainer.
