A six year old boy from Chituripasi area in Beitbridge was attacked and killed by an elephant while his sister watched helplessly.
The incident occurred on Tuesday around 11am, 200 metres from the business centre.
Acting chief executive officer for Beitbridge Rural District council, Mr Peter Ncube said they had since sent a local safari (Three Way Safaris) to hunt for the jumbo.
The now deceased boy was coming from pre-school in the company of an elder sister and another minor when they came across the elephant.
The boy was then attacked and killed by the elephant which, after the act, stood guard for a while before disappearing towards the Limpopo River.
