Pretoria - Two people have died after a small aircraft crashed on the Welbekend smallholdings near Pretoria early on Tuesday.
Superintendent Eugene Opperman for police said the single-engined, fixed-wing plane crashed about 08:20. It burst into flames.
Witnesses said it sounded as if the plane was experiencing engine trouble before it crashed.
Police are picking through the charred remains of the plane in search of clues to the identity of the pilot and passenger.
It was not possible to determine the make of the burnt-out plane, Opperman said.
