Late Sunday afternoon the plane’s wreckage was spotted and hours later he was declared dead on the scene. It brought to an end a weekend of uncertainty and worry for his family whose ordeal started on Friday afternoon when it was first discovered that something was seriously wrong when he didn’t arrive at his place of work.
He was the son of well-known local oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Dr Pieter Scheepers, but resided in Johannesburg where he worked for an aviation company. He was scheduled to arrive for work only later on Friday but never pitched.
