of anti-Portuguese, Communist-backed, liberation groups led by Samora Machel. The meeting
also criticized President Mobutu of the Congo for supporting west leaning, and also Chinese
supported, National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA) against President
Dos Santos of Angola who was supported by Russia and Cuba. Mobutu was said to have been
installed as president to protect Belgian mines in Congo and that Belgian mercenaries and
mining companies were allegedly behind the 1961 attempted hijacking and plane crash
carrying United Nations Secretary General Dag Hammarskjöld in Zambia, then known as
Northern Rhodesia (see Susan Williams “Who killed Hammarskjold”). Twenty-five years
later, whether it was because of a deliberate South African sending a false radio beacon, as
they had confessed to using in Angola, drunken Russian pilots, or a mistaken beacon
identification in Swaziland, the Tupolev Tu-134 carrying Machel out of Zambia crashed into
Mbuzini. South African operatives claimed it was deliberately planned and Pik Botha, the
Foreign Minister who investigated the crash, called for an inquiry.

Together with Gatcha Machel, Samora's widow who later married anti-apartheid activist
Nelson Mandela believed it was an assassination plot.
It was said that to become leader of FRELIMO, Samora Machel ate human flesh in a
sangoma “witchdoctor” oath ceremony and proclaimed that dogs would eat his flesh before he
believed in God. Ironically, at the crash site local Africans found dogs eating human flesh.
