The body of a baby was found on Thursday in a debris-strewn riverbed in Umlazi’s E-Section near Durban.

A passer-by noticed a limb protruding from debris and litter lining the bank of the river in the wake of last week’s mega-storm.

The child‚ yet to be identified‚ was found 3km from an informal crèche where toddler Okuhle Kweyama was last seen.

Another body pulled from Durban river as storm death toll mounts 

The child had been washed away by flash-flooding on Tuesday last week and has been the focus of an intensive search by police rescue divers.

This is a developing story.
