Alex News reported on 9 March on a video that went viral showing Khosa making his way along a pole on which the boy was stranded above the flooding river.

In the video, the man steadily hops onto a pole to get to the child. The child then piggybacks on him as they safely make they way to land.
It was unclear how the child got there.
