Meanwhile, the search continues for the bodies of a 31-year-old man who is presumed to have drowned at Henley Dam in Pietermaritzburg on Sunday and a 22-year-old diver who disappeared while cleaning the hull of a vessel at the Durban Harbour.

Also in KZN, a double murder investigation is underway after the bodies of a woman and her five-year-old child were found in a shallow grave in Tongaat.

KZN police spokesperson, Thulani Zwane, says a passerby who'd been walking in a bushy area late yesterday alerted them.

Zwane says they are yet to identify the 25 year old woman and the little girl, who was found buried underneath her mother.

No arrests have been made.
