The wreck of a plane carrying Malawi’s Vice-President Saulos Chilima has been found with no survivors, President Lazarus Chakwera has said.
The vice-president and nine others were flying within the country on Monday morning when their aircraft disappeared from airport radars.
In a news briefing, President Chakwera said the Malawi Defence Force commander informed him that the search and rescue operation had been completed and the plane was found.
Mr Chakwera paid tribute to Dr Chilima, describing him as "a good man", "devoted father" and "formidable VP".
