The bodies of three boys who drowned in an Eldorado Park river on Tuesday have been found.

Johannesburg emergency services spokeswoman Nana Radebe said, “Two of the boys were found on Wednesday morning, after the third was recovered on Tuesday.

Four boys aged between 10 and 12 were playing in the river in Extension One when three of them were swept away.

By the time the fourth boy returned after getting help from residents, his mates had already disappeared into the stream, which led to a search by emergency personnel.

Radebe said children are advised not to play in streams and to go designated recreational places instead to avoid such incidents.

Parents have been requested keep a watchful eye on their children’s whereabouts.
