A two-day search for the little boy ended in success after IPSS Medical Rescue, KDM lifeguards and SAPS Search and Rescue and K9 Search and Rescue recovered his body. "A search of the Nonoti river was conducted and the boy’s body was recovered approximately 1km from the point where he went missing," Herbst said.

“KwaZulu-Natal is expected to be the province particularly affected by these extreme conditions. With the high amounts of rain that has already been experienced, the risk for flooding is very high in places,” SAWS said in a statement.
