More Details Emerge On Rio Zim Plane Crash

The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has provided additional information regarding the Rio Zim plane crash in Zvemahande, Mashava, Masvingo province. According to police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi, the crash resulted in the death of six individuals. In a statement seen by Pindula News, Nyathi said police will release further details as they become available. Read the statement:

PLANE CRASH IN ZVEMAHANDE AREA, MASHAVA

The Zimbabwe Republic Police reports a plane crush which occurred on the 29th September 2023 between 0730 hours and 0800 hours where six people are confirmed dead. The Murowa Diamond Company (RioZim) owned white and red Zcam aircraft had left Harare for the mine at 0600 hours and crushed about six kilometres from Mashava. The victims are two Zimbabweans and four foreign nationals.
More information will be released in due course.

Preliminary results from the investigation suggest that the plane had a mechanical fault.

A Pindula News correspondent visited the crash site and described it as a gruesome scene with scattered body parts and debris. The correspondent said due to the extensive damage, it was difficult to determine the exact number of passengers onboard.

Locals reported hearing a loud sound and witnessing the plane circling before it tragically fell from the sky. The aftermath was disturbing, with body parts hanging from branches and chunks of flesh on the ground. Based on the discovery of seven pairs of shoes, it was estimated that seven individuals had died in the crash.

A CID officer at the scene said the area’s network would remain down until Civil Aviation authorities arrived. The weather conditions at the crash site were unclear, but it was misty and foggy in the Masvingo area.

The Rio Zim plane was en route from Harare to Murowa Diamonds when the incident happened, potentially due to a mechanical fault. Rio Zim is a prominent mining company in Zimbabwe involved in extracting gold, diamonds, and chrome.

Indian business mogul Harpal Randhawa, who had vast gold, diamonds and coal mining interests in Zimbabwe, has died with his son in a fatal small plane crash which killed all six onboard, friends of the tycoon told The NewsHawks. Randhawa and his son died in a small RioZim plane which was on its way from Harare to Murowa Diamonds (now RZM Murowa) a few hours ago. This was not the first time a RioZim/Murowa small plane was involved in an accident. In February, a Piper 31 Navajo aircraft owned by RZM Murowa was force landed in a farm field about 16 kilometres away from Beatrice south of Harare. Randhawa, the founder of the US$4 billion private equity firm GEM Holdings, had a big stake in RioZim. After global mining giant Rio Tinto plc left Zimbabwe in 2015 after 60 years in Zimbabwe, RioZim acquired its 78% stake in Murowa Diamonds and its 50% holding in the Sengwa Colliery mine. Rio Tinto, the British-Australian multinational company that is the world's second-largest metals and mining corporation, also owned the Sengwa coal fields with RioZim on a 50-50 partnership. RioZim was incorporated on August 29, 1956 as Rio Tinto Southern Rhodesia Ltd. It was set up initially to develop and mine the Empress Nickel deposit in the Midlands and was the first mining operation to be set up outside Europe by Rio Tinto plc. RioZim separated from Rio Tinto plc in 2004 and became a wholly-owned Zimbabwean company which produces gold, coal, toll refines nickel, copper and now involved in diamonds. The company is listed on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange.
