A former special operations policeman from Pretoria was among 11 people killed in a plane crash in Uganda this week, Beeld newspaper reported today.
South Africa’s foreign affairs department has not been able to confirm reports that a South African was among the dead.
Beeld identified the man as Duncan Rykaart, a former special services policeman who had been working for a US-based landmine research company, Bancroft Global Development.
Beeld’s source was Bancroft programme director Rocky van Blerk.
Rykaart, who was married with two children aged 16 and 24, had returned from Iraq two months ago where he had worked for four-and-a-half years.
A Soviet-era transport plane crashed into Lake Victoria on Monday shortly after take-off, killing 11 people, international news agencies reported.
An underwater search for the remains of those killed was still under way.
