HARARE – Zimbabwean police on Tuesday named five of the six victims of a plane crash in Mashava on September 29.

RioZim owner and Indian millionaire Harpla Sing Randhawa and his son Harpla Singh Randhawa died on impact after their Cessna 206 crashed during a flight from Harare to the RioZim-owned Murowa Diamond Mine in Mberengwa.

The cause of the crash is still being investigated.

“Five victims were positively identified by their next of kin,” Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi said.

He named them as Harpla Singh Randhawa, 60, of Murowa Diamonds; Amer Singh Randhawa; Marowa’s newly-appointed chief administration officer George Sibanda, 51, Murowa human resources executive Nikhil Mahadik Milind and pilot Reginald Muchemwa, 38.

“The Zimbabwe Republic Police is working with relevant institutions to establish the cause of the accident and to identify the sixth victim who is believed to have come to Zimbabwe as a visitor,” Nyathi said.

Tragic … George Sibanda, who hailed from Kwekwe, had just been named as Murowa Diamonds chief administration officer
