Search continues for little boy

Still no sign of five-year-old who drowned on Sunday.

There is still no trace of the five-year-old boy who reportedly drowned in the Tugela River, near Newark while playing in the water over the weekend.

Since Sunday evening, IPSS Medical Rescue and Police Search and Rescue have been looking for the boy in the Tugela River, which is known to be home to many crocodiles.

The rescue divers have been relentless in their search, regardless of the dangers they face in the deep, murky water.

Police have brought in the K9 unit this morning to assist in the search, but so far, there has been no sign of the little boy.
