According to super sports Hansie was on a plane that crashed in a mountain area. The rescue team saw three men on ground but due to poor weather conditions they couldn’t tell if they were alive or dead.

Cricketers past and present have reacted with sadness to the news of Hansie Cronje’s death in a plane crash.
England captain Nasser Hussain said on Saturday: "We were all shocked when we heard the news of Hansie’s death. As a cricketer he was a fine player and a tough opponent.
“A number of our players had either played under him or against him and he was a fine captain on the field. Our sympathies are with his family.”
Former England skipper Ian Botham, who played against Cronje in the 1992 World Cup, suggested people should remember him for positive reasons as well as the match-fixing scandal which brought the former South African captain a life ban.
“It’s a sad time. Sadly people will forget all the good things he did and remember him for all the wrong reasons,” said Botham, speaking on Sky Sports TV.
Ex-England coach David Lloyd said: “Hansie Cronje will go down as the man who disgraced cricket.”
Commentator Henry Blofeld told Sky News: “He loved money, he lived for it. He had to pay the penalty.”
James Whittaker, captain of Leicestershire during Cronje’s season in English county cricket in 1995, said: "He was a great example to other professionals at Leicestershire. He committed himself to the club both off the field and with his input on the field.
“I hope he will be remembered for his inventiveness on the pitch and his cricket ability.”
Gary Kirsten, a former international team mate, spoke of Cronje’s positive influence on his career.
“It’s a terrible shock, it’s a tragedy. He was a great friend of mine,” he said.
“As most people remember him, he was a great cricketer. I knew him better than most but he was a good friend, he was good for my career and he got the best out of me.”
**Cronje, who was 32, died on a cargo plane that crashed in mountains in South Africa’s Western Cape province. **

The Game Responds:
**Very* shocking; that's all I can say about it. After witnessing his game for six or seven years,I can surely say that I won't remember him for the match fixing issue; He was above all that as a great leader and a very gutsy player. God bless his soul. People, That Is All.*
Do you see what The People's ARTIST is painting here?
