Pigs may not be exactly flying in Zimbabwe yet, but they are certainly forcing aircraft to duck and dive.Wild pigs living around Harare’s international airport were struck by a plane last week, just a month after causing the crash of a just-airborne aircraft there .
The SAA aircraft hit two of the pigs .
The incident came after an Air Zimbabwe carrier ran into a wild pig in November , bringing the aircraft down, but causing no loss of life.
There were no further details of the latest incident, except that national parks rangers were called in to capture the pigs.
Nearby residents say pigs are abundant on farms surrounding the airport and easily burrow under the fences meant to keep them out.
