An elderly woman and her minor grandson and granddaughter died in a fire at their home in Parkgate, KwaZulu-Natal, at the weekend.
Another woman was also killed, bringing the death toll to four, Reaction Unit SA said.
Paramedics were alerted to the blaze at the informal home on Tottenham Road by neighbours but the occupants were trapped in the house.
“The eThekwini fire & rescue services arrived shortly thereafter and extinguished the blaze. Four charred remains were recovered in the rubble,” said Rusa.
The cause of the fire has not yet been established.
The identity of the second female has not been confirmed.
