# 3 well done in deed on your information. If it is true then makes very sad reading and very sad chapter.
In Africa any military issues i.e. loses, bungle ups etc are treated confidential. Any talk about them is deemed TREASON. How foolish of us. Ka Chiluba is around, Ben Mwila (BY) was defence chief at that time, he is around so what happened? The service chief at that time i’m told is also around. This MMD has conspired, employed delaying tacktics till everyone who questions the report eventually dies. Why have they not released report up to now. The voices demanding for it have been shrinking each day. yaba Pls MUVI TV get the program video from National Geographic Channel and air it.
Just to add on, it is very sad that the 30 men on the plane were fathers to 90 children. And all the kids had learn to live without “ba daddy” since that fateful day. [-(
