Aircraft with consignment for SA's reserve bank impounded in Zimbabwe

HARARE — Zimbabwean authorities impounded a cargo aircraft carrying a consignment for the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) after a body was discovered on board.

"The police are now handling the issue and the plane, which is owned by Western Global Airlines, has been grounded at Harare International Airport since Sunday," Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe CEO David Chawota said.

"The cargo in the plane belongs to the SARB," Mr Chawota said. He would not disclose details of the cargo, citing security concerns.

The aircraft, en route to SA from Germany, landed at Harare after requesting permission to refuel when the body was discovered, Mr Chawota said.

Western Global Airlines is based in Florida, US. The SARB is based in Pretoria.

very high education. We can call Obote all bad names we have, but the bottom line remains that he got more scholarships for Buganda than all previous Uganda leaders combined. That includes Sir Edward Mutesa, President Lule, President Binayisa, up to and into Ssabasajja Mutebi. Who all happen to be Baganda leaders." Mulindwa
