Meanwhile, there's an investigation following the drowning of a nine-year-old boy in KwaMakhutha, south of Durban.
Police say he'd been swimming with other children in the Mbokodweni River on Thursday when he started struggling in the water.
His body was recovered later on the same day after search and rescue officials found it at a depth of five metres.
