The body of a three-year-old boy was retrieved from a pit toilet in a village outside Vuwani in Limpopo on Monday afternoon.
In a statement issued to news media on Tuesday, Limpopo police spokesperson Col. Malesela Ledwaba said the boy was last seen by his uncle on Sunday morning at Tshino Nditwanin village before his disappearance was reported to the police.
According to Ledwaba, several units, including the K9 search and rescue team, emergency services, and local police, began a search "which culminated in this horrific discovery."
He stated that after the K9 unit reacted near the pit toilet, the team conducted a thorough search of the victim's yard.
“The members started digging the pit toilet after conducting tests to determine what might be inside.
"The body was found and handed over to local police,” he said.
Limpopo police commissioner Lt-Gen Thembi Hadebe called on parents to practise extra care when looking after their children.
“These kinds of incidents can only be avoided if parents exercise extra caution and care and look after our children at all times.”
