His body was recovered from the river the next day following an extensive search.

Thandolwethu, known as Thando, was from Chellaston and had gone to the river with a group of friends, police said.

His family said they were “truly devastated” and said the teenager “loved to laugh and to make friends”. Nombulelo, Thando’s mother, said:

> We are truly devastated. It feels like a part of me has been ripped apart. Thando was the most amazing, happy child. He was our shining star and he was loved by so many.

> Thando loved to laugh and to make friends, and he loved his school. He meant so much to us and would brighten all our lives. I miss my son so very much.

His father, Jabulani described him as “exactly the child that you could hope to raise”.

An investigation has been carried out, police said, and a file prepared for the coroner.

Officers do not believe there to be any suspicious circumstances surrounding his death.
