RESPONSE FROM AIRLINK: HANTAVIRUS
Airlink operated flight 4Z 132 from St Helena Island to Johannesburg on 25th April 2026. There were 82 passengers and 6 crew onboard.
On Sunday 02 May 2026, Airlink was notified by South Africa’s public health authorities that a passenger who had flown on the flight had passed away after she arrived in Johannesburg and that her death was attributed to the rare Hantavirus.
At the time when the flight was operated Airlink was unaware that any of the passengers were unwell.
In accordance with health protocols, Airlink provided the Dept of Health with the passenger manifest for contact tracing. The manifest included the names, contact details and seating allocation of the passengers and crew.
Airlink is also contacting passengers who were on that flight and advising them to contact South Africa’s Department of Health, if they have not yet already been contacted by the Department.
The safety and wellbeing of our customers, personnel and equipment is Airlink’s priority. Airlink operates, maintains and services - including cleaning - its aircraft in strict accordance with pertinent public health and aviation regulations and requirements. Airlink’s fleet of Embraer aircraft are equipped with High Efficiency Particulate (HEPA) air filters, similar to those used in hospital operating surgical theatres, which repeatedly scrub the cabin air clean. #CarteBlanche

UPDATE: KLIPHUIS MYSTERY - In April 2020, a holiday house at Kouga Kliphuis guesthouse in the Eastern Cape became the site of a mystery after a young couple, Mari Hoon and Jean Vosloo, were found dead in the unit’s bathroom. With no clear cause of death or injuries, their families searched for answers. Authorities later linked the deaths to a faulty gas geyser in the shower. Post-mortem results showed the couple died from carbon monoxide poisoning.
On Friday 20 February 2026, the owner of Kouga Kliphuis, Kevin Pretorius, received a 10-year prison sentence for the couple’s murder. During the 2025 guilty verdict, magistrate Vuziwe Mnyani said Pretorius had gambled with the couple’s lives by failing to repair known faults with the geyser. Pretorius has already said he will appeal both the sentence and the murder conviction.
You can watch our original investigation into the Kouga Kliphuis now.
