Family in shock after search for Khomanani Mawa ends in tragedy
For a few days Khomamani Mawa’s family held on to hope and prayed for a miracle. But it was not to be.
Mawa fell into the uncovered manhole on Sunday afternoon a few kilometres away in Orange Farm while playing with friends.
The body is suspected to be that of six-year-old Khomanani Mawa, who fell into an open manhole on Sunday.
From what specialist teams on the ground have said, the search for Khomanani Mawa may not be concluded as soon as they had hoped.
This information was disclosed by the city’s mayoral committee member for infrastructure, Gift Moerane, who visited the area on Tuesday.
Khomanani Mawa plunged into an open manhole and disappeared just a few meters from his home.
Teams from Joburg Water and others have spent hours trying to access underground utility system in the hopes of finding six-year-old Khomanani Mawa.
