		</div><p>A teenager may have found part of missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 on a beach in Mozambique.</p>
<p>Casper Lotter said his son Liam found the piece on December 30 near the town of Xai Xai and returned to South Africa with it. The curved piece has a five-digit number on it.</p>
<p>Mr Lotter said his wife contacted Australian aviation authorities last week after another piece was found in Mozambique. He said the authorities said the number indicates it may belong to a Boeing 777.</p>
<p>A South African Civil Aviation Authority spokesman said they will send the part to Australia to be examined.</p>
<p>The Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 vanished while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8 2014.</p>
<p>Mr Lotter said he dismissed the item as a &#8220;piece of rubbish&#8221; that was probably debris from a boat, but 18-year-old Liam insisted on bringing it back to South Africa, convinced it was part of a plane.</p>
<p>&#8220;He was adamant he wanted to bring it home because it had a number on it,&#8221; said Mr Lotter, adding that his son is not an aviation enthusiast but was simply drawn to the piece of debris.</p>
<p>&#8220;It just grabbed him for some weird reason.&#8221;</p>
<p>His son told East Coast Radio, a South African station: &#8220;We picked it up and I turned it around and it had like a curve to it. You could see where it&#8217;d been pop-riveted almost, like there&#8217;s holes on the side.&#8221;</p>
<p>The teenager&#8217;s research did not yield much until the family heard about another piece of possible plane debris also found in Mozambique, about 186 miles from where he made his discovery.</p>
<p>Australian authorities contacted South African counterparts to arrange to have the new part taken from his home in the town of Wartburg in KwaZulu-Natal, according to South African officials.</p>
<p>&#8220;We have arranged for collection of the part, which will be sent to Australia as they are the ones appointed by Malaysia to identify parts found,&#8221; said Kabelo Ledwaba, spokesman for the South African Civil Aviation Authority.</p>
