Mlaba says the family is not coping.

"No mother needs to go through this. We are not coping at all, especially the mother who has lost all four of her children at once. They are gone. They went to school happy, and in the afternoon they are gone," she said.

"It is very difficult for us."

Police are still searching for the father.
