The wreckage of a Dakota of the air force that went missing early Thursday morning in the Giants Castle area of the Drakensberg has found.

Ground teams were busy searching the area for survivors, Siphiwe Dlamini, spokesman for the Defence Force said.

The plane was underway yesterday morning from the Waterkloof Air Force Base in Centurion to Mthatha in the Eastern Cape.

Unconfirmed rumors have it that a medical team that travels weekly to former President Nelson Mandela was on board.

In total there were 11 people aboard, including the crew.
