CAPE TOWN – A South African judge yesterday ruled that pilot negligence led to a 2002 plane crash which killed fallen cricketing icon Hansie Cronje, whose career ended after a match-fixing scandal.
The two pilots who also perished in the crash failed to follow procedures for a “missed landing approach”, Cape Town high court judge Siraj Desai said at the conclusion of an inquest into the crash.
