Search still on for SA boy who fell into sewer
South African authorities have been searching for days for a missing six-year-old boy who fell into an open sewer manhole.
Khayalethu Magadla had been playing with friends on Sunday at a popular park in Soweto, Johannesburg, when the incident happened.
He had been trying to jump on a plank placed across the manhole when he slipped and fell, according to some reports.
A search and rescue operation involving Johannesburg’s emergency services, the city’s municipal workers and the police continued for the fifth day on Thursday.
Robert Mulaudzi, the Johannesburg’s Emergency Management Services spokesperson shared a video as the operation began for the day.
Speaking to the local media earlier, the city’s mayor, Mpho Phalatse, assured the boy’s family that the search would continue until he is found.
