Johannesburg - The 21-year-old Zimbabwean man who allegedly tried to force his way into the cockpit of an SA Airways aircraft on a flight from Cape Town to Johannesburg on Saturday is to appear in the Bishop Lavis magistrate's court on Monday, SABC radio news reported.

Police spokesperson Inspector Bernadine Steyn said the man will face charges of attempted hijacking of an aircraft and for assault with the intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

The man, a Zimbabwean student at the University of Cape Town, apparently wanted to divert the plane to Maputo.
