Ten people were killed and 14 injured (including the pilot and co-pilot) when a South African air force Oryx helicopter of 19 Squadron (1215) crashed on Saturday near Kroonstad in the Free State province, the South African National Defence Force said.

Spokesman Colonel Johan Grobler said the helicopter went down in trees on a farm near Kroonstad, about 200 km (120 miles) southwest of Johannesburg.
