Six-year-old child falls into open manhole in Soweto

A six-year-old child has fallen into an open man-hole in Dlamini area in Soweto.

The boy slipped into the manhole in Dlamini, Soweto, while playing with friends on Sunday afternoon.

Thembeka Magadla, a relative of the boy, told eNCA they only found out about what had happened to the boy on Monday morning.

She said the boy’s sibling and their friends had kept quiet about what had occurred out of fear.

Magadla said according to the children, there was a plank that had been placed over the open manhole. The boy was alleged to have climbed onto the plank and jumped on it, and this led to it breaking with the boy falling inside.

Teams from Johannesburg emergency management services (EMS) and police carried out search and rescue operations.
