Samora Machel: The Plane Crash That Still Raises Questions
Descrição
On October 19, 1986, Samora Machel, Mozambique’s first president and a major figure in African liberation, died when his presidential aircraft crashed near Mbuzini, South Africa.
The official South African investigation concluded that navigational error caused the crash. But Mozambique and the Soviet Union disputed that conclusion, and allegations of deliberate sabotage have surrounded Machel’s death for decades.
What happened that night remains one of the most controversial mysteries in modern African history.
This is the story of Samora Machel — his fight against Portuguese colonialism, his opposition to apartheid, and the unanswered questions surrounding his death.
