Malawi's Vice President, Saulos Chilima, has been confirmed dead in the military aircraft that went missing on Monday. According to reports, the military plane carrying the VP and nine others, including the former First Lady, Shanil Dzimbiri, failed to land on Monday morning. The group was en route to attend the funeral of a prominent Malawian lawyer, former Attorney General and Justice Minister, Ralph Kasambala, in Mzuzu.
In a televised address on Tuesday, Malawian President, Lazarus Chakwera, announced that the plane carrying Chilima and nine others had crashed into a forest, resulting in no survivors. He expressed his deep sadness and sorrow at the tragic news.
The US Embassy in Lilongwe has offered its assistance in the aftermath, including the use of a C-12 military aircraft. However, search efforts have been hindered by poor weather conditions, including fog and low visibility. The US Embassy has joined President Chakwera in offering prayers for the well-being of all those on board."
