WATCH: Malawi's Vice President Chilima laid to rest after shock plane crash

Saulos Chilima was buried in his village following a state funeral in Lilongwe.

He died along with nine others in a plane crash last week. The plane was on a short flight from Lilongwe to the northern city of Mzuzu when it went missing last Monday morning.

Malawi's President Chakwera has called for an independent investigation into the plane crash.
