Large crowds have been watching the rescue efforts over the last few days
Rescue efforts are set to continue to find a five-year-old boy trapped for nearly three days in a disused mineshaft in the Boksburg, a small town on the outskirts of the South African city of Johannesburg.
The boy reportedly fell into the hole sometime between 12:00 and 13:00 local time on Saturday.
According to EyeWitness News , the search operation was called off on Monday night after rescue workers experienced difficulty breathing underground.
An emergency services spokesman told News24 on Monday that a drone was going to be used to fly over the area to assess the stability of the ground.
Some community members say that for years they have called on authorities to seal the hole, EyeWitness reports.
Residents are expected to gather in their hundreds again to watch the rescue mission.
