SEVEN senior managers of a leading South African tile manufacturing company and two plane crew were feared dead today when the wreckage of their aircraft was found in the sea near Plettenberg Bay off South Africa's Western Cape Province.
Craig Lambinon, spokesman for South Africa's National Sea Rescue Institute said the wreckage was located just off shore of the Robberg Nature Reserve.
"At this stage the operation is still being treated as a search and rescue with any hope to find survivors," he told the South African Press Association.
The single-engine aircraft disappeared yesterday while trying to land near the Robberg Nature Reserve in heavy fog.
South Africa's Civil Aviation Authority confirmed to Cape Talk radio station that the debris found belongs to the plane which disappeared last night.
Peter Swatton, spokesman for the company, said they are in touch with family members.
