He was found at the Mzamba River Mouth with his family on Saturday still in the process of identifying him.
In Umgababa in KZN, a search was underway for a 9-year-old child believed to have drowned in the Johanna estuary.
Lifesaving South Africa urged people to only to swim where lifeguards are on duty.
They also warned that children should always be supervised around pools, bathtubs and near water containers.
