I saw the incident with my eyes, it was an emgcy landing at nkk old airport and up to date it is still there.
What does the word clash means? Coz as we can see the plane looks nyc
may be the land crashed,i don’t see plane crash here kufuna kutchuka basi no bo amalawi.
is it the planeclash that lands in nkhotatakota? mybe kkk5!
Pane crash -lands? The second part is clear. Plane crash land, not a “dash” and plural “lands.” Because it is as if it’s a verb somehow.

Wake up friends, seriously open wide ur eyes, when ever u see a plane like that flying around in Malawi, call th game reserve department immediately, these guys ar poachers, they’re there for Rhinos, they Kno that its so easy to kill Malawi’s Rhinos bcoz there’s no even a single security in Malawi’s game reserves.
These guys ar running away from south Africa to that side, they started long tym, the Rhinos ar dying that side, I’ve got some white friends who always talk about Malawi’s Rhinos, they Dont pass through airports bt they use their own farm planes & helicopters, to fly wth them without being searched, remember, 1 Rhino horn z too much teleshede, am serious.
tikunena pano abwerera kwao ku south africa pa ndege ya ku Madisi
