Two-year-old Lwandoluhle and her eight-month-old sister, Kwanelisiwe Khetha, were killed at their home in the Mandlanzini area of Richards Bay last week.

 

 It's understood they'd been left at home unattended by their father. 

 

KZN Social Development spokesperson, Mhlabunzima Memela, says a team of social workers has been sent to offer psychosocial support to the Khetha family.

"It's one of those painful incidents in our community, especially when these kids are left alone. Although, we don't know what the reason was or what led to the fire but what is also important is for us to urge our community to not leave children unattended."
