“Today we will also use the emergency medical services (EMS) helicopter to hopefully locate him,” said Captain Pottie Potgieter of the Ehlanzeni Diving Unit.

With the additional help of drones, police remain hopeful that Chiloane will be found.

The bodies of the vehicle’s two other occupants, Vigo Godfrey and Tintswalo Khoza, were recovered on June 7, shortly after the vehicle plunged into the river.
