South Africa’s seizure of an Air Tanzania aircraft was linked to a land compensation claim that dates back to the 1980s, the East African nation’s government said.
The case doesn’t involve the airline and is part of a wider dispute between Tanzania and Hermanus Steyn, a South African investor, Hassan Abbasi, a spokesman for the Tanzanian government, said in a Twitter post.
Lawyers are studying the South African court order that authorised the seizure before deciding how to respond,
Abbasi said.
The state-owned airline launched its maiden flight to South Africa’s business capital Johannesburg in June to bolster relations between the two countries.
