You should do a 5 day Panacur PowerPac dewormer. I'm not sure where you can buy it there. It is the only dewormer to kill encysted small strongyles which can cause ill thrift and decreased weight. ( https://www.ubuy.za.com/search/index/view/product/B0035IWHKA/s/panacur-paste-horse-wormer-powerpac/store/store ) We'd like to help you but you really should ask your local veterinarian about how to help him pick up weight. We do not know what products you have available to you in South Africa. Your local vet would know. In the U.S. we use Beet Pulp quite a bit to help horses gain weight. If he wild he may be burning off all the calories he is taking in. It is best to have him gelded if he is not going to be used for breeding. That will also help him to gain weight.
