The pilot, Lt. Adriano Francisco Bomba, was escorted by South African Mirage jets until he landed at the Hoedspruit Air Base, about 200 miles Northeast of Pretoria, where he was introduced to reporters.

Bomba told journalists in a brief statement he had defected because he was 'disgusted with Frelimo (the Marxist government) policy in Mozambique.

'After six years of independence there has been no progress in Mozambique,' he said. 'That is why I made up my mind to defect. I was treated very well here,' he said.

Brigadier Dries van der Lith, chief of Air staff intelligence, said intitial questioning indicated Bomba was a genuine defector.

Military sources said Bmba was not treated or regarded as a prisoner of war, because South African was not at war with Mozambique but his future would likely be negotiated through diplomatic channels. He could either be given asylum or be repatriated.

Brig. van der Lith said the South African air force had no use for the MIG-17 and said the Mozambique government would be asked to make arrangements to take the aircraft back. He said it was not in very good condition, one of its cannon could not fire and the tires were 'dangerously smooth.'
