The aircraft was apparently hired from the Flight Training Academy to conduct a survey for the installion of a new power line in the area. The aircraft was observed flying at a very low altitude at a slow speed in gusty wind conditions, when it crashed and rolled for a distance of 150m. The pilot and passenger were thrown clear, but died on impact. It is speculated that the aircraft may have stalled after a conducting a downwind turn. The accident is still under investigation by the SACAA. (June 2008)
