The memorial at the Mbuzini crash site was inaugurated on January 19, 1999 by Nelson Mandela and his wife Graca, and by President Joaquim Chissano of Mozambique. The monument comprises 35 steel tubes symbolising the number of lives lost in the air crash. At least eight foreigners were killed there, including the four Soviet crew members, Machel's two Cuban doctors and the Zambian and Zairean ambassadors to Mozambique.
