Tanzania’s Parliamentary Affairs Minister Juma Akukwetu, who was last month injured in a plane crash, died early on Thursday, the Tanzanian government said.
Akukwetu died in a South African hospital where he was being treated for severe burns and multiple fractures sustained in the December 16 plane crash, it said.
The minister is the third fatality among six people who were in the aircraft when it crashed in south-western Tanzania. — Sapa-AFP
