Rescuers began a search operation and found traces of the boy in three days.. It took another day to find and save him.. The child reportedly ate wild fruits and slept on a rock in the middle of the wilderness, surrounded by aggressive lions and elephants that passed by.
“We are overwhelmed with gratitude to the brave park rangers, the tireless community of Nyaminyami, who beat the night drums every day so that the boy can hear the sounds and know the direction to return home. Thank God for bringing the child home. This is a testament to the power of unity, hope, prayer to never give up,” MP Mutsa Murombedzi wrote on her social media page X, calling the rescue operation a real miracle.
