Search efforts continue in the greater Durban area - as a 12-year-old child is thought to be one of those still missing following torrential rains that hit parts of KwaZulu-Natal at the weekend.
The incident was reported in uMshwathi just outside Pietemaritzburg.
KZN Disaster officials have confirmed three deaths at this stage - among them a 40-year-old man and his six-year-old child who lost their lives when their vehicle was swept away in Amaoti.
A woman who was also in the vehicle has not yet been found.
