Saulos Chilima has died at the age of 51 in a plane crash.

Malawi’s Vice-President Saulos Chilima has died at the age of 51 after a military aircraft he was flying in crashed in a forest in the north of the country.

He was described as a "performer" and "workaholic" but he was perhaps defined by being at the centre of corruption allegations in government.Before Dr Chilima became vice-president in 2014, he was the managing director of the country's leading telecommunications firm Airtel Malawi, the first Malawian to head the organisation.

He later formed his own political party, the United Transformation Movement , calling for radical change and reform in the country.Mr Mutharika won that election but it was subsequently annulled by Malawi's top court because of widespread irregularities. But the vice-president would soon himself face corruption allegations, which he had so much rallied against in the previous administration.
