Bree O'Mara
Award-winning South African author Bree O’Mara was one of 103 people killed last Wednesday when their plane crashed in Tripoli, Libya.
The plane left South Africa’s O R Tambo airport and was traveling to London’s Gatwick airport via Libya when it crashed and exploded while landing in Tripoli, killing everyone on board except for a 10-year-old Dutch boy.
Officials have ruled out terrorism as cause for the plane crash.
At least 10 South Africans were on board, including O’Mara, with at least five of them coming from the Gautenburg province.
O’Mara won the 2007 Citizen Book Prize, an award voted on by the South African public, for her book Home Affairs.
O’Mara, who also had Irish nationality, was reportedly on her way to London to sign a second book deal.
