He says the couple was well known in the area and had lived there for over 40 years.

 "They were absolutely fun-loving couple, always had a smile on their face.

They were very popular in their community and always lending a helping hand, assisting wherever they could, always getting into people's side when they need.

"They have one son. He's from Johannesburg and he's down at the moment with funeral arrangements, and they have two grandchildren as well."
