Machel died when the airplane he, together with other African leaders, was flying in crashed into the Lebombo mountains in 1986.<\/p>\n

It is alleged that the plane crash was caused by the apartheid government because of Machel\u2019s support for liberation in South Africa at the time.<\/p>\n

According to the South African Sports, Arts and Culture department, the event is an opportunity to remember, honour and \u201cexpress appreciation to those who gave their lives to guarantee that Southern African countries attained their freedom and democracy\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Samora Machel\u2019s regime was instrumental in the independence of South Africa and several other Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries.
