Search teams have gone back to where little Everlate Chauke was swept away during the recent flash floods in Gauteng.
A decision has been taken to restart the search in Alexandra, after three days of combing through the Juskei River in search of the missing three-year-old girl.
Eva, as she is affectionately known, fell from her father's arms as the family tried to reach safety after their home was flooded on Wednesday night.

Johannesburg EMS spokesperson Nana Radebe says the search team has already covered 15km since restarting the search at 08:00 today.
"We decided to start afresh from Alexandra to cover the ground again and see on the river banks and in between the debris, if there is nothing we might have missed."
