The body of one of the boys was recovered by the family on the same day, while the body of his brother was recovered the following day by SAPS divers.

“We are appealing to the community to look after and make sure that whenever they play, they play within sight of their parents, as it is not the first time an incident of this nature occurred,” Dannhauser Police Communications Officer,  Sgt Nyembe stated.

An inquest has been opened into the matter.
