The body of seven-year-old Khayalethu Magadla who fell into an open manhole in Soweto has been recovered.
Khayalethu's body was found on Saturday afternoon after an emotionally challenging search that took 21 days, marking an end to his family's plight of not knowing where he was.
Khaya had been playing with friends at Eco Park in Dlamini on June 12, when he vanished into a sewer manhole. The search which was described by some rescuers as one of the most difficult searches ever, saw rescuers battle to enter the narrow manholes and sometimes relied on robotics and underwater cameras.
