The pilot who was alone in the aircraft at the time and was engaged in a positioning flight from Lanseria to Ulusaba to collect some passengers. The aircraft was landed on Runway 19. Approximately 300m after touchdown during the landing roll several warthogs ran onto the runway from the left in front of the aircraft. According to the pilot's statement he applied power in an attempt to take evasive action. The aircraft veered to the left and collided with a drainage ditch, which resulted in the failure of the nose gear assembly and the propellers impacting the ground. The aircraft came to rest on the left-hand side of the runway approximately 300m from the point where it departed the runway facing towards the runway. The pilot was not injured in the accident, but the aircraft was substantially damaged. PROBABLE CAUSE: In an attempt to avoid a collision with several warthogs that were crossing the runway in front of the aircraft shortly after touchdown, the pilot took evasive action by manoeuvring the aircraft to the left. He allowed it to veer off the runway and subsequently collided with a water drainage ditch.
