Andile "Bobo" Mchunu from Hambanathi, Tongaat has been found dead, his body dumped in Newton river.
The 16-year-old was reported missing about a week ago and then a graphic video surfaced in social media where Mchunu was being beaten by a group of men for allegedly stealing alcohol and money.
He could be heard in the video begging for mercy but the men showed no mercy.
#JusticeForBobo: Social media outcry
After the video surfaced, people started a social media hashtag asking for justice for Bobo and for him to be found.

The SAPS must find Bobo like they found the beer that was hidden in the ground at that other tavern. His family needs to know what happened to their son. #JusticeForBobo pic.twitter.com/MTcsIT6nVN
