Naidoo says last night police in Vuwani received a call from a local saying that the children were at their home saying they dropped of on a nearby road.

 

"Police arranged a doctor who  confirmed that the children are in good health before they were handed over to their parents." 

He says the children also appeared to be in high spirits during the reunion with their parents.

 

"The children have not yet been interviewed but today investigators will arrange for the SAPS psychologists to assist with that.

 

“The investigation into the case of  kidnapping is still continuing and we are appealing to anyone who can assist with information that will help bring the kidnappers to book are asked to please contact the police.”
