“He was found at about 11am. And it is far from the place where he went missing. It was about 2km away from the place he went missing.”

“The child has been found but unfortunately he is not alive any more,” said family spokesperson Gert Patchoa.

The mother of the boy, Anastatia March, alerted officers that her son was missing after he went to the veld with a 15-year-old boy on Monday.“Ladies went to fetch firewood in the morning. One of them saw dogs barking at a certain spot, so she went to investigate why the dog was barking and she discovered the tiny body. She recognised the boy’s body and screamed for help from other ladies who were with her.

“They made a call to the community and they all came up and discovered that it was the boy’s body which was face down. He was found next to a small tree and the grass is not that long.”
