President Machel died in a plane crash near the border of South Africa and Swaziland in 1986. The cause of the crash is a matter of intense dispute, with many accusing the South African apartheid regime of having a hand in his death.

Fmr. President Samora Machel proved to be a serious threat to the apartheid governments existence in the late 1980s, as he was an unapologetic activist of the anti-apartheid and the MK military wings cause and it is said that at the African summit held in Zambia notions of providing armed forces and strengthening the military wing of the ANC were brought up and would have potentially devastated the apartheid governments regime & hold on South Africa at the time.

It is in my own personal opinion & not at all insinuating that Fmr. President Machel was as assassinated/sabotaged either mid air or post crash landing in the Mbuzini region where the crash site was found.
