LISTEN: Family mourns loss of drowned Kloof twins
Updated | By Nushera Soodyal
The grieving family of two-year-old twin boys who drowned in a residential pool in Kloof, says they are living their worst nightmare.
The toddlers' maternal grandmother, Leanne Ngcobo said they are not doing ok, "At the moment because Ethan and Sebastian, our lives revolved around them, we would wake up to them. Going to bed we revolved around them."
"Now it's just an empty space that nothing or nobody can fill and we are left with so many questions," said Ngcobo.
It is understood that brothers Sebastian and Ethan Dunn fell into the pool at their home on Saturday.
Paramedics tried to resuscitate them but they sadly were declared dead on the scene.
The toddlers' maternal grandmother, Leanne Ngcobo said the children were in the care of their nanny at the time and that the family were not at home.

Ngcobo said there is also a fence around the pool, which is usually locked, so they are not sure how the children got into the pool area.
"What we have seen on the CCTV footage it looked like they walked to the pool area and they were sitting together and talking at the end of the pool."
"One of the boys slipped in and his brother first tried to run for help and when he saw there was no one he tried to go and fetch him."
"And that's what happened and from what we could see, the nanny hadn't observed them for an hour, she hadn't gone out to check on them or look for them," she added.
KZN Police have confirmed that they are investigating the matter.
