Malawi’s Vice President, Saulos Chilima, has been confirmed dead alongside nine others in a devastating plane crash. 

President Lazarus Chakwera made the somber announcement on Tuesday, revealing that the aircraft carrying Chilima had been found completely destroyed with no survivors.

“I’m deeply saddened, I’m sorry to inform you all that it has turn out to be a terrible tragedy. The search and rescue team has found the aircraft near a hill… they have found it completely destroyed with no survivors,” President Chakwera, said.
