After seven days, there still has been no sight of the six-year-old boy who fell down a manhole while playing with friends in Soweto last Sunday.

He said the team managed to cover eight kilometres of the pipeline and had six more kilometres to go before they hit the split chamber.

They used a floating boat fitted with an underwater camera and a camera on the surface which gave them a 360° view of the pipeline. Technicians were also deployed along the pipeline using an external air supply system.
