A military plane carrying Saulos Chilima, Malawi’s
vice-president, and nine others has gone missing.
Authorities said a search is underway.
A statement from President Lazarus Chakwera’s office, said
aviation authorities lost contact with the plane when it “went off radar” on
Monday.
“All efforts to make contact with the aircraft since it went
off radar have failed thus far,” the statement reads.
The plane carrying the 51-year-old vice-president had left
Lilongwe, the capital, but failed to make its scheduled landing at Mzuzu
International Airport.
The statement said Chakwera cancelled a trip to the Bahamas
and ordered national and local authorities to “conduct an immediate search and
rescue operation to locate the whereabouts of the aircraft”.
