Updated | By News24
Police say another helicopter has crashed in Limpopo, this time injuring the two occupants.
The aircraft crashed near Lephalale, coming to rest on its side, spokesperson Colonel Ronel Otto said.
No further details were immediately available.
On Monday morning, pilot David Boul and passenger Ronald Matsunga were killed when their helicopter crashed near the Blouberg medical centre, about 104km north-west of Polokwane, Otto said.
Another passenger, Phineas Sekwela, was seriously injured when he either fell, or jumped, out of the helicopter before impact.
He struck electric cables as he fell. He was taken to the Helene Franz hospital. Otto did not have details about his condition.
The helicopter was being used to install antennas in the Blouberg mountains. It burst into flames on impact.
The Civil Aviation Authority was investigating the matter.
On Sunday, glider pilot William Scott was killed when his aircraft crashed outside Potchefstroom.
