Samora Machel’s death to be re-investigated

The investigation is to be re-opened into the death of Mozambican president Samora Machel in a plane crash 20 years ago. The investigation will be led by the Directorate of Public Prosecutions and all police agencies will be involved in the probe. I-Net Bridge quotes safety and security minister Charles Nqakula as saying South Africa owes it to the people of Mozambique to ensure the matter is thoroughly investigated. Nqakula declined to state whether new evidence had come to the fore. He added that there would be no probes at this stage into the deaths of late Communist Party leader Chris Hani, who was assassinated in Boksburg in 1993 by Polish immigrant Janusc Walus.
