"She was in the house, they were playing in the passage then they went to the kitchen and then they went out."
Ngema says they have searched everywhere around the home, including in a nearby forest.
She says she and her sister, who is Simikahle's mother, are sick with worry.
"We are hurt. This is too much for us. We can't even eat. Someone took them."
Police have urged anyone with information that can help find the children to come forward.
