The light aircraft that went missing yesterday evening near Plettenberg Bay on the Southern Cape coast has been found.

The aircraft disappeared in heavy fog while trying to land near Plettenberg Bay Robberg Nature Reserve.

Emergency teams found the aircraft offshore of the Robberg Nature Reserve.

Nine people have been reported to be on-board the plane that was coming from Queenstown in the Eastern Cape.

National Sea Rescue Institute spokesperson Craig Lambinon says the wreckage was located just offshore of the Robberg Nature Reserve. At this stage the operation is still being treated as a search and rescue with any hope to find survivors.
