]]> Tanzanian government sources say they are trying to secure the release of $90-million Airbus 220 300 impounded at Oliver Tambo International.

It was  seized last Friday following a Gauteng High Court ruling in favour of a Namibian-born farmer seeking $33-million in compensation for nationalization of his farm by Tanzanian authorities decades ago.

The farmer, who choses not to be named, brought the case to South Africa because it is signatory of the international convention on the recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitration.

There has been no official statements from either the South African or Tanzanian governments.

The impounded plane is leased by Air Tanzania, which was revived by President John Magafuli and started flying  to South Africa  two months ago.
