During the landing at Bloemfontein the right hand brake locked up and the pilot lost directional control, during which the aircraft sustained substantial damage to the left wheel (Tyre and rim) as well as the left brake caliper. The pilot was correctly licenced and the aircraft type was endorsed onto his licence. He also held a valid medical certificate as a commercial pilot.
