Two Kenyan pilots, who should be regarded as heroes, are being held in Akubo, South Sudan after their plane crashed, killing one person on the ground. Captain Pius Frank Njoroge and First Officer Kennedy Shamalla managed to evacuate all nine passengers before the plane burst into flames. Trevor Ombija caught up with family and friends of the pilots held in captivity and reports that Kenya's ministry of foreign affairs is yet to act, two weeks down the line.
