By Own Correspondent| Three people reportedly died around 07:00 hrs this morning when an aircraft they were traveling in crushed in the Chamanjerenje Hills Village 5 in Tokwane Ngundu.

While details of the accident were not yet clear by the time of writing, eyewitnesses claimed that at least three white males died on the spot.

Efforts to get a comment from the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) were however futile by the time of writing as a ZRP officer only identified as Inspector Ndoro said he was out of office. He referred all question to Chief Superitendent Paul Nyathi who was not picking up his mobile phone.

However, sources who were also present at the scene of the accident alleged that the police, civil aviation, and army officials in Renco attended the scene.

The registration details of the plane could not be established from the wreck, but unconfirmed reports claimed that the plane belonged to the Chiredzi-based Hippo Valley sugar estates.

By the time of writing, graphic pictures of broken bodies mingled with the wreckage were doing the rounds on social media.

This is a developing story. More details to follow.
