The search for the four missing young men is still ongoing at the river that runs through an informal settlement in Driftsands after police divers had no luck on Monday, September 6.
Police divers have been searching the area since Sunday after it was reported that the bodies of the four men aged between 19 and 23 were thrown into the river after they were involved in an alleged mob justice attack.
However, on Saturday evening, the police’s search party retrieved an unidentified body while a second body was recovered on Sunday afternoon. The three families who opened missing person cases with Mfuleni police over the weekend confirmed that the bodies recovered on Saturday and Sunday were not their relatives. Police divers are currently searching a seven-kilometre area along the river, AA reports.
