2 die in Limpopo chopper crash

Johannesburg - The helicopter that crashed on a Limpopo game farm this week apparently flew into a fence, said the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) on Friday.

CAA senior manager for accident investigations Albert Morudi said the final cause of the accident had not been established, but it was believed the Robinson R22 helicopter hit a fence.

"The helicopter was doing game culling and they were following a kudu, and the helicopter impacted a fence."

Both men in the helicopter were killed.

The accident took place just after 16:00 on Wednesday at the Mpofu Game Lodge near Lephalale.

Captain Gabashane Moseki said police had not yet identified the dead men.
