The children, who are from the same family,disappearedfrom their home late last year.

Investigators said they were last seen playing in the yard before vanishing under suspicious circumstances that continue to baffle officers. The Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI) previously issued an urgent appeal in June for the province and the country to assist law enforcement authorities in resolving one of the most distressing and concerning missing children investigations. “The children were last seen playing within the yard of their home and seemingly vanished without a trace under circumstances that continue to perplex investigators,” the Hawks said. The Hawks said the disappearance prompted the immediate opening of a kidnapping case and the subsequent involvement of the investigative unit.
