The search and rescue operation is still ongoing, with the team opting for manual techniques rather than advanced methods. They are currently positioned 21 kilometers away from Raiply Malawi, venturing into the most remote regions in search of any signs of the missing aircraft.
Local residents have informed the search team that they heard the sound of an aircraft in the vicinity around noon on Monday, providing a potential lead for the rescuers. However, the information provided by the locals is not very specific, making the search more challenging.
In a show of solidarity and support, various individuals, including politicians and legal representatives for Chilima like Khumbo Soko and Bright Theu, have been seen accompanying the rescue team in their efforts. Their presence highlights the importance of the search mission and the collective effort being made to locate the missing aircraft and any possible survivors.
