A massive search resumed on Thursday morning, for a military plane that's believed to have gone missing near Ladysmith, in KwaZulu Natal.
The aircraft took-off from Waterkloof air base early on Wednesday and was scheduled to land in Mthatha at around 10am.
It is believed to be carrying at least 11 members of the medical team of former President Nelson Mandela.
SANDF spokesperson Simpiwe Dlamini says the wreckage was located just a few minutes ago.
"I can confirm that early this morning our team in the area did identify and found the wreckage of the Dakota that went missing yesterday, and we are busy now looking for any survivors" Dlamini said.
