Air Force of Zimbabwe refutes plane crash claims

The Air Force of Zimbabwe (AFZ) has refuted claims that one of its light fighter planes crashed at Katanga Range in Kwekwe and killed the four pilots on board.

AFZ Group Captain and Director Operations Alphious Gwata said reports by some media organisations alleging an AFZ plane crash in Kwekwe is false.

He said although the Air Force conducts night flying, all its aircrafts for such exercises returned to their bases safely.

Gwata also added there is no incident of airspace invasion, dismissing reports by a local daily newspaper as inaccurate and malicious.
