Businessmen panic as BDF plane crash land

The group was returning from Xaixai in the North West District following a handing over ceremony of 25 houses built for less privileged citizens of the settlement. The entrepreneurs were invited to the handing over because they had responded to President Ian Khama's Housing Appeal. But as the philanthropists clutched their stomachs inside the BDF plane, President Khama's official helicopter landed smoothly.

A Mmegi team that accompanied the delegation said it was an unpleasant flight all the way and back because of the condition of the aircraft. "It started when we left Gaborone for Xaixai," says photojournalist, Kebofhe Mathe."The plane was noisy and scary. Even the way we landed at Xaixai worried President Khama as he expressed his concern at the speed at which we landed several times.
