This was the accident in which 15 year old South African pop star, Gwynneth Ashley Robin and her backing group Danie Schoeman, Vic Rall and Robby Potts were killed. The pilot, Pieter van Rooyen, his wife and their infant were also killed. Apparently this accident was a classic case of controlled flight into terrain, while en route to Phalaborwa.
