The pilot reported that he took off at 0700Z with 3.5 hours of fuel endurance. The pilot routed to FABB where the passenger disembarked, from there the pilot flew alone to Frankfort then back to FAGM via the 4 dams (Vosloorus in Gauteng). While overhead the 4 dams the aircraft began to lose power and began to splutter, with no warning indication from the cockpit. The pilots witched the fuel pump on. This action aided for a few seconds but then the engine began to splutter again and subsequently stopped. The pilot elected to conduct a forced landing on an open field, the aircraft glided onto the field and touched down safely. During the landing roll of approximately 200 meters (m), the nose undercarriage impacted a rock, collapsed and the aircraft nosed over. The aircraft came to rest inverted, and the pilot was not injured during the accident sequence.
